Plaid Payoff Raffle - Start Selling Over Christmas Break!

The raffle runs from Tuesday, January 6 - Sunday, January 18

We are kicking off the winter with an online raffle! This online raffle system makes it easy for you to share your personalized selling link with family, friends, business partners, and others. All proceeds go to The Ursuline Fund, which supports the highest needs of Ursuline Academy and helps offset the cost of educating an Ursuline student. 


**NEW THIS YEAR** For anyone who would like to sell over the holiday season and be finished, student individual raffle links will be emailed out on December 22, as well as January 5, when the raffle campaign officially begins.


Each student is required to sell 10 (full priced) tickets by midnight - Sunday, January 18. If all four classes hit their goal, the whole school will earn a day off school on Monday, February 9! You can find all the details on our webpage.
