Terms and Conditions
The 2015 Dayton Dragons VIP/Luxury Suite Raffle to benefit the 2015-2016 Northmont High School Color
Guard/Winter Guard programs is conducted by the Northmont Band Boosters, a 501c3 non-profit organization under
the laws of Ohio. The raffle is governed by the State of Ohio under section 2915.092 of the Ohio Revised Code.
1.
The purchase price for one raffle ticket is $10.00 or 3 tickets for $25.00. A maximum of 400 raffle tickets
will be sold.
2.
Ticket entries can be purchased from a member, parent, or staff of the Northmont High School Color/Winter
Guard. For your convenience you may also mail a check made payable to “Northmont Band Boosters” for
the amount of the number of tickets you would like to purchase (enter “Dragons Raffle” and the # of tickets
in the memo line) and mail it to Northmont Band Boosters, PO Box 42, Englewood, OH 45322 and we will
complete the ticket(s) for you. Please remember to include your phone number and email address.
Requests made via mail must be postmarked by midnight August 7, 2015 in order to be eligible for the
drawing.
3.
Tickets may be purchased with cash or check. Checks must be made out to the “Northmont Band Boosters”
with “Dragons Raffle” entered on the memo line. If an entrant’s check is returned unpaid by the bank, the
entry ticket(s) will be invalid unless a cash payment is received by the Northmont Band Boosters by 6:00
p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) Sunday, August 16, 2015, the official raffle deadline. Entrant will also be
subject to all associated bank fees.
4.
All entry purchases are final and non-refundable.
5.
Entry purchases are not tax deductible as a charitable contribution. The IRS considers a raffle ticket to be a
contribution from which you benefit. If you receive a benefit from making a donation, you can only deduct
the amount of your donation that is greater than the value of the benefit you receive. The IRS explicitly
prohibits deducting the cost of raffle tickets as a charitable contribution, presumably because it does not
consider the cost of the ticket to be greater than its benefit.
6.
Entrant will retain the original printed raffle ticket. The stub will be entered into the drawing and will be
retained by the Northmont Band Boosters.
7.
The winner of the raffle will be determined by random drawing at the Northmont Marching Band Annual
Ice Cream Social on Sunday, August 16, 2015 at approximately 6:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at
Centennial Park, 321 Union Blvd. Englewood, OH 45322. This information will also be announced on the
Northmont Bands website at www.northmontband.org. Winner does not need to be present to win and
will be contacted via the phone number and/or email address entered on the ticket stub.
