Tens of tickets have already been sold in an online raffle benefiting KU Chabad’s vital work enhancing Jewish life at the University of Kansas.
All of the proceeds gleaned from the $36 tickets will go directly to fund programming, with independent donations covering the cost of the prizes, in-cluding a grand prize of $10,000, a second prize of two tickets to Israel and various other prizes as well.
The last few months as we are all dealing with the effects of Covid-19, KU Chabad has once again seen how vital their work is with the student community. Now more than ever, students are looking for meaning, connection, inspiration and community.
While so much is uncertain, this raffle campaign helps ensure that Chabad can be there to help students in creative, relevant and meaningful ways.
“Through its innovative programming, whether it be the Sinai Scholars Society and Jewish U learning programs, the Shabbat dinners and holiday events and so much more, Chabad has really made a great impact in the lives of our daughter and her many friends,” said KU parent Heidi Roslen of Minneapolis. “Each year we are so excited to join this raffle as we recognize the impact it has on the lives of the students.”
People can purchase a ticket online at JewhawkRaffle.com, by calling Chabad at 785-832-8672 or via email at . Participants need not be present at the drawing, which will take place on July 22.
