Following entry online, participants will receive a confirmation email. 100% of proceeds from the raffle will go to the Brigham Fund, which supports the hospital’s greatest needs and allows us to be bold in pursuing new opportunities.

Prizes and Odds: There will be fourteen (14) prize winners. Odds depend on the number of eligible entries received. All prizes are drawn and awarded at random.

Selection of Winners: Fourteen (14) winners will be determined in random drawings occurring after 3pm on Friday, December 9, 2022.

Prize Delivery and Winner Verification: The potential winner of each prize will be notified by email. If a potential winner cannot be reached after 48 hours from the first notification attempt, or if a participant is found to be ineligible, or if the notification is returned or undeliverable, or if a participant declines the prize, that participant will forfeit all rights as the winner, and an alternate winner will be selected. In the event the alternate winner declines the prize, the prize may be designated for another fundraising event at Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s sole discretion. The winner will agree to allow their name to be used to inform the raffle participants and hospital community about the recipient of the prize. The identity of the winner for each raffle in the series can be obtained by visiting bwhgiving.org/raffle. Winners will be notified on Friday, December 9, 2022, and names will be posted as soon as they have accepted their prizes.

Taxes: Each individual winner will be responsible for all applicable state and federal income taxes. Raffles are considered to be a form of lottery and associated prizes are considered income by the federal and MA tax authorities. The federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) advises that no portion of a raffle ticket price is deductible as a charitable contribution when filing federal income taxes.
