Dream Porsche Raffle
Aside from your chances of winning and driving around in a ridiculously sweet car with a bunch of cash in your wallet, this raffle will serve as a major fundraiser to help support our mission. As of January 2022, we have awarded over $400,000 to over 50 grant recipients! The grants we issue have averaged $5,500, and with a goal of issuing at least 60 grants this year, we have our work cut out for us! Selling out this raffle will be a major factor in our ability to provide all 60 grants to life altering situations all around Michigan. But even then, our work is only just beginning. Each year, thousands of Michigan citizens alone face significant financial obstacles that prevent their ability to overcome said obstacles. We will work endlessly to eliminate these financial obstacles and insert hope in their stead!
