Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kingsport opens new Panda Cares Center of Hope classroom

Raffle tickets are available for purchase for the annual Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kingsport Porsche Raffle.

It is one of the Club’s most anticipated fundraising events of the year. The Porsche Raffle brings together individuals from across the nation in support of the Boys & Girls Club’s mission of helping all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential.

“We are so excited about this annual event. We are so fortunate to live in a place where people are so philanthropic. We absolutely could not keep our doors open to serve kids and families without the generosity of so many in our community. We are looking forward to another exciting fundraising year,” says Jessica Poore, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kingsport.

Raffle tickets are $100 each and multiple tickets can be purchased. Only 1300 tickets will be sold. Tickets can be purchased online by clicking here, or in person by visiting the Club located at 1 Positive Place, Kingsport, TN. Tickets can be purchased online, now through Wednesday, July 31 at 11:59 pm. Tickets can also be purchased at the Boys & Girls Club Annual Gala on Thursday, August 1 at The Reserve in Kingsport prior to the drawing.

Individuals who purchase a raffle ticket do not have to be present at the drawing to win. The drawing for the new Porsche Macan will take place on Thursday, August 1 during the Boys & Girls Club Annual Gala. A Porsche raffle ticket is not an entry ticket for the Annual Gala.

“The Porsche raffle has been a fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kingsport for many years and has always been well received by our community. I can’t think of a better way to support our kids and their future.” Ted Fields, Executive Vice President at Powell Valley National Bank and Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kingsport Board Member said. “Who knows, you may even go home in a new Porsche!”

Buyers must be 18 years of age or older to purchase a ticket. Payments are not tax-deductible contributions and are non-refundable unless the event is canceled. If 800 tickets are not sold, a full refund will be provided, and the raffle will not occur.

“Our goal is to sell all 1,300 tickets this year.” Said Jonathan Albarado, Director of Development. “The money we raise from this fundraiser will help our Club continue to provide the quality of after school and childcare services our parents and families depend on. We hope that the community comes together to support our Club by purchasing a ticket.”
