Rockets Annual Reverse Raffle and Auction to Be Held on May 19

Posted: Updated:

TOLEDO - The University of Toledo Athletic Department's annual Reverse Raffle and Auction Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, May 19 at Savage Arena.

The Reverse Raffle is a night of fun, food and games. A limit of 350 tickets at $125 each are sold for the event. Each ticket admits the purchaser and one guest to the event and provides the opportunity to win the $7,500 grand prize or one of many cash prizes or gift items.
 
Buffet "grazing stations," as well as snacks and beverages, will be available throughout the night. In addition, each purchaser of a Reverse Raffle ticket will receive six coupons good for six tickets to UT home football games at the Glass Bowl (a $154 value).
 
Additionally, the Athletic Department is seeking donations for prizes and auction items. Gift or service donations of all levels are helpful, from smaller prizes for "10th Ticket" winners, to larger items that are used for the silent or live auctions.
 
For more information, please call the Athletic Development Office at (419) 530-4183 or go to the official UT Athletics web site www.utrockets.com.
