Each year, Chico Softball Little League holds an end-of-season fundraising raffle. This raffle helps cover important league costs and allows us to keep registration fees as low as possible while continuing to improve our program.

To simplify the process for families, we use a Raffle Ticket Buy-Out system at registration. Below is an overview of how it works.

Raffle Ticket Buy-Out Fee

• During registration, families pay a $60 raffle ticket buy-out fee.

• This fee represents the value of the raffle tickets assigned to each player.

Ticket Distribution

• Once teams are formed at the beginning of the season, coaches are given raffle tickets for each of their players.

• Each player receives 12 raffle tickets.

• Tickets are sold for $5 each, allowing families to fully recoup the $60 paid at registration if all tickets are sold.

Selling Tickets

• Families are encouraged, but not required, to sell their raffle tickets.

• Players who wish to sell additional tickets beyond the initial 12 may request more by emailing [email protected]

If You Choose Not to Sell Tickets

• Families who do not wish to sell raffle tickets may:

  • Fill out the tickets with their own information and turn them in, or

  • Choose not to turn in the tickets at all.

• There is no additional action required beyond the original buy-out fee paid at registration.

Why This Matters

The raffle is one of our most important fundraisers of the year. Funds raised help support:

• Field maintenance and improvements

• Equipment purchases

• Umpire costs

• League operations

We appreciate the support of our families in making Chico Softball Little League a successful and affordable program for all players.
