The Rotary Club of Annapolis is hosting its annual Black Tie and Diamonds on Saturday, March 1, 2025, with the proceeds benefitting Marshall Hope Corporation. For those who can’t make it to the event, the Travel Raffle is a great way to support Marshall Hope! If you do plan to attend Black Tie & Diamonds, a Travel Raffle ticket purchase is a great way to increase your support of Marshall Hope and the families they serve.
“I see the travel raffle drive as a critical component of our effort to support this wonderful organization and our effort to support our community in general”, stated Robert Young, Rotary Club of Annapolis president. “Black Tie and Diamonds is our largest fundraiser and a tradition that has been part of our community for years. Please consider helping out and purchasing a raffle ticket.”
“Purchasing a travel raffle ticket is a wonderful way to support our event and Marshall Hope Corporation’s mission of providing hope to our local Annapolis families who need resources and services”, shared Chera Howey, Black Tie and Diamonds co-chair. “It’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while giving yourself a chance to win an incredible get-away.”
Travel Raffle tickets for a trip for two cost $100 each and raffle ticket sales are capped at 250 tickets. The winning ticket will be drawn at Black Tie & Diamonds and purchasers do not have to be present to win. The winning ticket holder will have the opportunity to choose between five exciting trips:
- Iceland – Land of Fire and Ice
- Cap Cana, DR – all inclusive stay
- Napa Valley Rail & Sky
- Snowy Slopes of Jackson Hole
- Ireland Adventure
The Rotary Club of Annapolis is delighted to support Marshall Hope Corporation through the proceeds of Black Tie & Diamonds this year. This Annapolis-based non-profit organization has been established to spread hope in the Annapolis community by providing essential resources, including food, and services to vulnerable and underserved families.
