BRISTOL, Tenn./Va. - The Birthplace of Country Music has announced the launch of its third annual Bristol Sessions Super Raffle, a fundraiser for the Birthplace of Country Music Museum that gives participants the chance to win more than $250,000 in cash and prizes.
The raffle drawing will take place Sunday, Sept. 12, from noon. to 4 p.m. outside the Birthplace of Country Music Museum during the 20th anniversary celebration of the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion music festival. A winner will be drawn every five minutes during the four-hour event. Prizes include $25,000 in cash, a 2021 GCM Canyon, a 2021 Ford Bronco, a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, an Indian Scout Sixty motorcycle, a vacation package with the destination of your choice, and much, much more.
“This fundraiser is more important for our organization than ever,” said Leah Ross, BCM Executive Director. “Like so many businesses and organizations affected by COVID-19, the Birthplace of Country Music Museum was closed for a significant amount of time and lost revenue. We are very grateful to our partners for working with us this year to raise money for the museum."
Raffle tickets, each with two numbers, are $100 each. BCM is offering an incentive to ticket purchasers who buy multiple tickets.
The “Buy 10 Get One Free” offer gives the buyer a free ticket with the purchase of 10 tickets. All 10 purchased tickets and the free ticket must be in the single buyer’s name.
