Can't Stop the Serenity: Raffle Drawing

Can't Stop the Serenity: Seattle, Washington - July, 2009

The raffle is one of the best parts of Can't Stop the Serenity. Companies and individuals support our cause by donating all kinds of great things. We separate those items into about 6-10 raffle packs (depending on how many items we get). In front of each pack is a list of what's inside and a little bucket. If you are interested in winning that raffle pack, you may drop as many raffle tickets as you want into its bucket. The more tickets you put in a single bucket, the more chances you have to win!

Immediately following the screening of Serenity, we will draw for the raffle winners and call out the numbers on the raffle tickets. You must be present to win. If your number matches, you get to walk away with all that great swag.

We will also be having an extra-special raffle pack with the primo goodies in it for the event ticket holders. We will draw that winner after the Dr. Horrible screening (at the end of the evening). Again, you must be present to win.

Raffle tickets cost $1 each and are for sale here online and will be available on the day of the event. You can purchase as many as you want after seeing the merchandise.

Here are just some of the items that will be in the raffle packs (in no particular order):

Several fantastic prizes have been donated to Can't Stop the Serenity (global). CSTS Seattle will draw finalists for each prize and they'll be entered into a global drawing to determine the winners. The entry form lists all seven prizes and you can check the ones you would like to win. If the prize is marked off on the drawn entry form, that person is the Seattle finalist for that item. If the prize was not checked off, the form goes back into the bag and the drawing continues until a finalist is selected.
