Tennis Buddies

OMAHA Big Red Raffle 2024

Updated 7-24-24

 

Terri Fuxa is handling the BBR tickets and money for the program so all requests should go to her.  She prefers text messaging at (402) 306-1730.

The Big Red Raffle is our one and only fundraiser for Tennis Buddies.  It is an opportunity for the athletes to raise funds for the teams that they participate on.  Because of your participation we have been able to offer Tennis Buddies at no cost to you.  This has allowed us to purchase equipment, uniforms, Vala's tickets, movie time and purchase court time.  This raffle is unusual in that for every ticket sold, Tennis Buddies receives 100% of sales. We also have Jane Hines as a tremendous grant writer and we have been blessed to receive money from other sources for the program.

​

We ask that every Tennis Buddy family sell or purchase TWO BOOKS: $40 in tickets. 

Tickets are $5 each or a book of 5 is $20.  That is of course the minimum, as you are encouraged to sell as many books as you can.  They are really easy to sell because the prizes are great.

• Grand Prize-Two 2025 Nebraska Football Season tickets on the 50 yard line donated by Mutual of Omaha

• 2nd Prize-$500 Amazon gift card

• 3rd Prize-50" HD LED TV

​

There are also individual and team incentives offered.

•  For each book sold, athletes will have their name entered into a drawing to win a Tablet.

•  The team who has the top sales by team will receive $1000 cash deposited to you account.

•  The top selling athlete in each region will receive a $50 VISA gift card.

 

Tickets will be handed out at the State Games for those participating in Lincoln.  Please let us know how many tickets/books that you would like at that time. If you are not participating at State then you will be contacted to get the tickets you need to sell.  You may also by-pass selling tickets by mailing a check made out to SONE to Terri with your donation amount.  Remember that 100% of sales and donations go directly to Omaha Tennis Buddies.

 

Raffle tickets and money need to be turned in by October 20.  You are responsible for any tickets checked out to you.  If tickets are lost, you will need to purchase those tickets.
