The 2021 Mercy Maroon & Gold Raffle Starts Today!

OVERVIEW Mercy families and staff will be selling tickets during the annual Maroon & Gold Raffle (formerly Sweepstakes) to benefit the General Fund, which supports curriculum enhancements, facility upgrades, tuition gap and technology updates. This year's theme chosen by the Student Council is Pay It Forward. Every family is expected to sell at least 35 tickets per student at $5 per ticket, per your enrollment agreement. Families with multiple girls at Mercy are asked to sell at least 30 tickets per student. Keep in mind this is only the minimum! Additional tickets will be available in the Reception Area. You may ask anyone to purchase a raffle ticket.  Drawings will be held at Mercy on May 7, 2021 Grand Prize - $10,000  2nd prize - $5,000 3rd prize - $1,000 4th prize - $500 20 Additional Prizes of $100 each NEW THIS YEAR: Each raffle ticket will have a $5 Zerbo’s Market Coupon on back!

All students will bring home their tickets and specific information today. GOAL students and families will receive a special email with logistics about selling and turning in tickets.   TICKET TURN IN Students will turn in all tickets sold to their 4th hour teacher. GOAL students will communicate directly with Mrs. Gray about turning in tickets.  Include your family name on the “turned in by” portion of the ticket. Fill out each ticket in the book, not just the top ticket. Triple check that the money matches the number of tickets sold. Additional tickets are available for pick up in the Reception Area. Return any unused tickets to the Advancement Office. Ticket winners must be 18 or older to collect winnings.

POTENTIAL DAYS OFF If we raise 50K by 3/26, we will get April 12th off. If we raise 100K by 4/16, we will get May 21st off. If we raise 150K by 4/30, we will get May 14th off.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND We have 650 students - if each student sells only exactly what they are required to sell ($175 each) this will only bring us to just over $113,000. If we want the 3rd day off, we ALL need to chip in and sell, going above and beyond the minimum requirement per family.  The 3rd incentive day off will not be given if we do not raise the $150,000.

STUDENT INCENTIVES Out of Uniform Wristband = 35 tickets turned in (30 tickets each for sisters) Shorts Pass = 55 tickets turned in (50 tickets each for sisters) Leggings Pass = 80 or more tickets  The winning class will earn an ADDITIONAL day off of school (chosen by administration).  ADDITIONAL PRIZES The more you sell, the more you can win! Incentive drawings will start Monday, March 29th - both students and staff are eligible. These prize drawings (Starbucks, Dunkin, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Amazon, Etsy, and DoorDash) will take place every day during the drive. Friday, April 23rd – we will have five $150 cash drawings for those who have sold over 35 tickets (over 30 for sisters & staff). Tickets must be turned in by Thursday, April 22nd before 2pm to be eligible.

VOLUNTEERS We are looking for a few more volunteers to help prep the materials, count money, help with data entry, and various other duties. All work will be done at Mercy High School in the Advancement Department, socially distanced, with masks worn at all times. All volunteers entering the building will need to complete the Mercy Visitor Symptom Tracker. Thank you for considering this opportunity, we are so appreciative of your time! Please review the available slots here and sign up for whatever dates will work best for your schedule.
