Annual Wine Raffle
Support local high school seniors and enjoy wine!
For over a decade the West Linn Lions Club raffles off locally donated wine annually in November to the general public in support of scholarships to West Linn seniors bound for higher education. This year the Club offers wine to at least 36 raffle winners. Tickets are $10 each or 11 for $100 (1 ticket is free).
Drawing is the night of the first Thursday in November. You need not be present to win. The winners will be notified that night or the next day with instructions on picking up your wine the following Saturday.
If you prefer not to buy a ticket but would like to support our high school senior scholarships, use the Donate to Scholarships button below. Any donation is greatly appreciated by the scholarship recipients.
Good luck to all!

Overview:
The primary high school scholarship funding mechanism for the past years has been our annual Wine Raffle. Local wineries donate wine through our 501(c)(3) Lions Foundation of West Linn and tickets are available online (see below) or from Club members in August through November. Cash contributions, also through the Foundation, are encouraged with confirmation available for tax purposes, if desired. A key component of our success has been the Club covering all expenses, so every dollar raised goes directly to scholarships.

Wine Donations
Many local wineries generously donate bottles or cases of their wine to the raffle. If we need more to fill out the required number of boxes, the Club purchases them (usually at a discounted price). We then apportion the donated wine bottles to boxes with either 12 or 6 bottles. We strive to provide an approximately consistent value for each type of box. Winners:
The drawing will be held on the Club's first regular meeting of November. You need not be present to win. At least 36 raffle winners are drawn (more winners are dependent on the amount of wine donated). The first 12 winners drawn receive a full case of assorted local wines. The remaining 24 winners receive a half case of wine. Winners are notified either the night of the drawing or the next day. Winners receive instructions on when and where wine can be picked up. We request that winners retrieve their wine on the Saturday after the drawing, unless other accommodation is made. |
