What's a Mystery Box?
Mystery Boxes are like a raffle – only better! In each box, you will find a chip with a number. At the end of the evening, we will draw a number to determine the recipient of the Mystery Box Grand Prize: 2 round-trip tickets anywhere in the US on Southwest Airlines. In addition to the raffle chip, many Mystery Boxes also contain smaller prizes. You may be an instant winner (and don’t worry, if you are, you still qualify to win the grand prize)! Smaller prizes include drink tickets, museum passes, restaurant gift certificates, and other items. Mystery Boxes are $20 each. All proceeds from the Mystery Box sales will be used to support EECM’s Reach Out to City Kids (ROCK) campaign. Each year, an anonymous donor agrees to match all contributions made to EECM’s Children & Youth programs between May 15th and June 30th, up to $10,000. This means, for every $20 Mystery Box you buy, $40 will be contributed to EECM’s important Children & Youth programs!
