2026 Dare to Dream Raffle

Lucky to be at St. Ben's!

The Dare to Dream (DTD) Raffle is a separate, raffle ticket fundraiser from the St. Ben’s Bash Event Tickets

DTD raffle tickets are not admission tickets to the Bash. They are entries into our school-wide raffle fundraiser.

If you are looking to attend the St. Ben’s Bash on May 16, please register separately for the Bash here!

What is Dare to Dream?

The Dare to Dream Raffle is one of St. Benedict School’s most important annual fundraisers. Every ticket sold directly supports classroom resources, technology upgrades, enrichment programs, and school improvements that benefit all students. You could win up to $10,000!

Each raffle ticket is $25!

To help make this fundraiser a success, each family at St. Ben's is asked to sell at least 15 tickets per family. When each family participates, we not only meet our goal — we exceed it!

What are the prizes?
