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 Massachusetts 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.

NOTE: Each entry is entered into a drawing to win one of the prizes listed on bwhgiving.org/raffle. Entries cannot be designated to a specific prize.
