Passport Raffle Program
Elevate your brand through a Gold Sponsorship and be at the heart of our most exciting member engagement initiative yet! NEFAR is thrilled to introduce our Council Raffle Program—a dynamic way to reward our members for their participation and create unforgettable experiences, all while putting your company in the spotlight.
Here’s How It Works:
Multiple Chances to Win*: Each of our eight Area Councils and three Specialty Groups holds a raffle where one lucky participant will win free NEFAR dues for the next year! For every event a member attends, they earn one raffle entry for that specific council or group. The more events members attend, the more chances they have to win.
Grand Sweepstakes: Every event attendee also gains a coveted entry into our Grand Sweepstakes Raffle. The prize? A luxurious 4-night cruise courtesy of Celebrity Cruises! It’s the ultimate reward for engagement, and your company will be synonymous with this dream getaway.
Why be a Gold Sponsor?
As a Gold Sponsor, your company will enjoy premier visibility throughout the raffle process, exclusive to Gold Sponsors. Here’s what you get:
- Prime Logo Placement: Your brand will be front and center on all entry forms, event signage, and promotional materials, from large display signs to table toppers and handouts. Wherever members go, your brand will be there!
- Direct Engagement: Members will interact with your brand when they scan the QR code at our events. They’ll be directed to a custom webpage where your logo will be prominently featured with a direct link to your website.
- Exclusive Access*: As a Gold Sponsor, you’ll receive a list of emails from everyone who submits an entry, giving you the unique opportunity to connect with highly engaged members.
How Members Enter:
- Attend an Event: Members participate in any council event throughout the year. (Must have registered and attended)
- Scan & Enter: At the event, they’ll scan the QR code on our eye-catching signs or handouts.
- Complete the Form: They’ll arrive at a webpage featuring your logo before filling out the entry form with their details and unique event code.
- Win Big: Each event attended earns them entries into both their council raffle and, if it’s their first event, the Grand Sweepstakes Raffle for the cruise!
End-of-Year Excitement:
The raffle winners will be announced at the end of the year, following the conclusion of all council events, ensuring maximum anticipation and engagement throughout the year.
