6 Super Bowl Tickets, Private Jet, 3 Nights In San Francisco For $150
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (CBS4) - You and your friends can enter for a chance to win tickets and private jet transportation to Super Bowl 50. All you have to do is enter NOCO Unify's "The Big Game in Big Style" raffle by Dec. 13.
Northern Colorado United for Youth, also called NOCO Unify, is raffling off the trip as part of its campaign to raise funds for three charities benefiting children in Northern Colorado communities. The winner of the drawing will receive six tickets to the game, round-trip transportation to and from the game aboard a private Falcon 50 jet, accommodations for three nights, and transportation to and from events once in California.
The trip happens Feb. 5-8. NOCO Unify is selling tickets online for $150 for a single raffle ticket, $400 for three, and $550 for five.
NoCo Unify selected three charities -- Book Trust, SAVA, and Turning Point to receive all revenue generated by its events this year, including the raffle.
Book Trust President and CEO Amy Friedman says money raised helps the organization provide new books to more than 38,000 children from low-income families in 15 states. The nonprofit was founded in Fort Collins in 2001.
"Research shows that in low-income families, over 60 percent of homes have no books." Friedman said. "We really want to address that access issue from the beginning and provide children from low-income families the opportunity to choose their own books and build that home library."
NOCO Unify President Patrick McMeekin expects to raise between $30,000 to $40,000 through the sale of raffle tickets to split between the three organizations, adding that the recent Broncos win over the previously undefeated New England Patriots is bolstering sales. He says his group came up with the idea for the fundraiser and found a donor to offer use of the private jet.
"Get online, buy tickets," McMeekin said. "You won't have this opportunity again."
The winning raffle ticket will be drawn at The Boot Grill at 4164 Clydesdale Parkway in Loveland on Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. Super Bowl 50 is set to take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Feb. 7, and airs on CBS4.
