Unlike many raffles with a set date for the drawing, this raffle will end with the sale of all 1400 tickets.
We estimate that the drawing MAY take place on December 15, 2021, but it could be sooner or later, based on ticket sales.
The raffle will benefit Shobu Aikido Vermont and William Gleason.
The prize, a Limited Grade Froggy Bottom Model R14 Guitar, of Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce, valued at $20,000. Delivery must be within the United States.
