The Dream Big Raffle will benefit thousands of athletes of all ages with intellectual disabilities and has become Special Olympics Southern California’s biggest and most impactful fundraiser. Prizes include the grand prize of a luxury home or $1 million, cars, vacation packages, electronics and cash- there are weekly “add-on” drawings for $10,000! Individual tickets are $150; you can also purchase bundles of tickets at discounted prices. Proceeds from the raffle will be used to fund competitions, health screenings, leadership classes, sporting equipment, uniforms, coach training, travel expenses and more.
