- Brown Bess Musket Raffle Fundraiser
The Battle Born Patriots (BBP) chapter, SAR, is excited to announce a raffle for a replica Revolutionary War musket generously donated by Compatriot Donn Dalton. This fundraiser supports our Liberty Prize program, with all proceeds going towards future BBP chapter grants for deserving students.
Get Your Tickets
Click on the button for the flyer and ticket form to reserve your chance at winning the Brown Bess musket. Only 300 tickets will be sold, and they are exclusively available through the Liberty Prize awards program.
Tickets are not available except through this Liberty Prize awards program.
Event Details
The drawing will take place during the Liberty Prize awards dinner on November 16, 2024, at the Reno Elks Lodge.
How to Participate
To secure a ticket, please send your donation and details to Jim McLane, our BBP Treasurer. Jim will record your contribution and notify David Hess, who will enter your name for the appropriate number of tickets. David will then provide you with your assigned ticket numbers.
During the drawing, each ticket number will correspond to a numbered ball in the raffle hopper. If all 300 tickets are sold, there will be 300 numbered balls. The hopper will be spun, and a single ball will be drawn to determine the winner.
Important Information
- Only 300 tickets will be sold.
- There is no limit to how many tickets you can purchase.
- Tickets are available to out-of-state donors, as the musket is not classified as a firearm under the 1968 GCA.
- Ticket sales close on November 16, 2024, or when all tickets are sold, whichever comes first.
Good luck, and thank you for supporting the Liberty Prize program!
- DAR America 250! Commendation
Mona Crandell Hook, Vice Regent, Nevada State DAR, presented the DAR America 250! Commendation to Jonathan Dickey and David Hess at Tuesday’s Boys Night Out. Yes, we know Mona is not a “boy”, but she has been a great friend to the boys so we granted special dispensation.
