The Pit Spitters Community Foundation holds 50/50 raffles as a primary fundraising effort for our foundation and to support non-profits in the local Traverse City Community. 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 of the digital platform used to purchase raffle tickets. The Pit Spitters Community Foundation have selected this year’s 50/50 charities below
