It’s a beloved Living Oaks gala tradition! One lucky winner gets first pick of ANY item in the Silent Auction, before on-site bidding begins, with no bidding required. Raffle tickets are $10 each, 5 for $40, or 15 for $100, and you don’t need to attend the gala to win. Entries close December 2, and the winner is drawn that evening. You can buy on the Golden Ticket Raffle page, or add 5 Lucky Tickets when you buy your gala tickets.
