The Pit Spitters Community Foundation holds 50/50 raffles as a primary fundraising effort for our foundation as well as supports non-profits in the local Traverse City Community. The percentage of funds raised are divided among the parties involved. Forty percent of the funds raised go to the winner of the 50/50 drawing, 50% goes to support the participating 501c(3) and 10% is used to cover administrative fees and operating costs. The Pit Spitters Community Foundation allows a select number of non-profit organizations the opportunity to host a 50/50 raffle on a selected game date.
