Olean Sports Boosters Raffle Party
OLEAN - The Olean High School Sports Boosters are hosting their 38th Annual Endowment Raffle this April. The raffle is $100 for a ticket with 24 chances to win: (1) $10,000; (1) $5,000; (1) $3,000; (1) $2,000; (1) $1,000; (2) $500; (5) $300; and (10) $100. Tickets admit four people to the drawing party to be held Saturday, April 30th at the Pulaski Club, 1104 North Union Street, Olean.
All proceeds will go to the Olean Sports Boosters Club for the benefit of the sports program at the Olean School District. The purpose of the Booster Club is to promote, sponsor, and carry out projects to aid and assist in the Olean High School athletic program. The Olean High School Sports Boosters was created to help out our student athletes in areas where the annual school budget falls short or needs assistance. Each year, the boosters purchase equipment needed by the sports teams that cannot be covered in their budget.
The Sports Boosters also host three sports banquets - Fall, Winter, Spring. All varsity athletes and coaches receive free admission, parents/friends are charged a reasonable price, and all spirit items/plaques given to these student athletes are funded through the boosters.
“The raffle has been a live online draw the last two years and we are hopeful that this year’s will be live and in-person at the Pulaski,” reported Meme K. Yanetsko, OHS Sports Boosters Treasurer. “Our top priority remains in the health and safety of our guests, club staff, volunteers and all involved - as restrictions are lifted or not, we will keep the ticket purchasers updated,” she added.
The drawing party, starting at 6:00pm, will feature complimentary food and drink for ticket holders, a Chinese auction, 50/50 raffle, and music. Tickets are available to purchase before the event at the Olean High School Sports Boosters office (at the high school) and various booster committee members.
