What:  PIP's Third Annual Sweetheart Raffle
When:  February 1-28, 2011
Where:  Buy Raffle Tickets in person or by mail; drawings are held at Venice on Vine, 1301 Vine Street in Over-the-Rhine.
Cost:  $20 per Ticket
What: 28 Chances to win.  Each ticket is reentered in the drawing every day, so you can win more than once.
Prizes: 23 Prizes of $50, One each $200, $400 and $800, and TWO $1000 drawings.
Rules: You do not need to be present to win.  Drawings for each day are conducted on Fridays at 2:00 p.m. Winners are notified by phone and email, and winning ticket numbers are posted on our website. Winners are responsible for paying taxes on their winnings.
Why:  The raffle benefits Power Inspires Progress (PIP), a nonprofit job training program.  PIP earns half our budget from sales in our catering and pizza operations, but must fundraise the other half.  And besides, it's fun!
