Our Gettin’ Piggy With It fundraiser was a success! Congratulations to Stephen Morel- the winner of the Ford Mustang!! And, a special thanks to Central City Barbeque, Karla Photography, HD Photobooth, and the Chee-Weez for making it a fabulous event.
Brandner Gives Back (BGB), a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting the Gettin’ Piggy With It Car Raffle to raise funds for charitable purposes. The Rules and Regulations of the Raffle are set forth below. By purchasing a Raffle ticket the purchaser agrees to be bound by these rules and regulations. BGB’s interpretation and application of these rules and regulations shall be final.
The Drawing for the Raffle will be held on October 19, 2019. Tickets will not be sold after October 19, 2019. The drawing may be open to the public, but the winner does not need to be present to win.
The chances of winning are based on the number of tickets sold. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in raffles, lotteries or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts, and consequently do not qualify as deductible charitable contributions.
The Prize winner of the Car shall assume all fees, local, state and federal taxes, sales tax, financing costs which must be paid prior to the Car being transferred to the winner. BGB takes no responsibility for any tax liabilities or costs. Consult your tax advisor. This offer is void where prohibited by law, and all federal, state, and local laws and regulations apply.
By entering this raffle, entrants accept and agree (1) to be bound by all the rules, limitations and restrictions set forth here and (2) that their names and/or likenesses may be disclosed to and used by the news media and may otherwise be used by BGB for publicity purposes and in lists of prize winners to be published in area newspapers and announced on the BGB raffle website. Other rules and regulations may apply. Please contact BGB if you have questions. BGB’s interpretation and application of the rules and regulations shall be final.
By entering this raffle, each participant releases BGB, its directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all liability for injuries, losses or damages of any kind caused by participating in the raffle or winning the CAR or resulting from acceptance, possession, use or misuse of the prize, and the winner agrees to indemnify and hold BGB harmless from any and all losses, damages, rights, claims and actions of any kind rising in connection with or as a result of participating in the raffle or the winner’s acceptance or use of the prize.

Only one method of payment, one name, and one mailing address are permitted per ticket. Only one eligible person may be entered in the raffle per ticket sold. If the name of more than one person is submitted with a ticket purchase, and that ticket is selected as a winning ticket, then the person named first will be deemed the holder of record of that ticket and declared the winner. Division of prize by a group purchasing a ticket in common shall be the sole responsibility of the person named as the holder of record of that ticket, should that ticket be selected as a winner.

All orders for tickets must be received and/or purchased by the indicated deadline.

In no event shall BGB, its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives be liable to any party for any loss or injuries to earnings, profits or goodwill, or for any incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages of any person or entity whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
