1. The purchase price for one (1) raffle ticket is $25 or $100 for five (5) raffle tickets or $200 for twelve (12) raffle tickets. A "purchase" shall not occur and will not be binding on The Bridge until cash is actually received by The Bridge, or funds from checks have cleared the bank in the account held by The Bridge. Checks or money orders must be made payable to "The Bridge Youth & Family Services Raffle." Payments are not tax deductible. Payments may be mailed or made in person, with a registration form, at: The Bridge, 721 S. Quentin Road, Palatine, Illinois 60067.

2. All monies received for tickets shall be considered "requests" until recorded by The Bridge as a "purchase." All sales and purchases of raffle tickets shall be deemed made and effective only upon acceptance at the offices of The Bridge,

in rule 7.

3. Requests for purchase must be completed, and in the possession of The Bridge (721 S. Quentin Road, Palatine, IL 60067) by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, April 3, 2009, unless otherwise personally delivered to an authorized representative of
The Bridge at The Essence of Tuscany Gala by the time of the drawing which
occurs on Saturday, April 4, 2009, in order to be eligible for The Bridge Grand Raffle.

4. If an entrant's check or credit card charge is dishonored prior to the drawing, the entry ticket will be declared invalid, losing its place in line as a request pursuant to Rule 2. All check or credit card charges found dishonored after the drawing must be paid by the drawer of the check, in cash, or the request for purchase shall be deemed denied. The drawer will pay an additional $20.00 fee for non-sufficient funds or stop payment checks. There shall be no refunds for any reason.

The winner(s) need not be present to win. The winner(s) will be notified as

8. Each raffle ticket purchased and accepted as described above shall constitute
an "entry" into the raffle, and the person to whom the raffle ticket is registered shall be the "entrant."
