Celebrating Arlington: Raffle Announcement

As Aspire’s Achieving Afterschool Celebration approaches, we’re excited to announce the raffle packages that will be featured during this event! This year, our raffle theme is “Celebrating Arlington,” chosen to highlight how proud we are to be part of a community that has such a strong commitment to giving back, lifting students up, and investing in the future.

Over 20 generous partners are helping us create packages that will get you out and about to new places and experiences in our community. The opportunity to enter the raffle drawing is only available to guests who attend the event on October 22nd, so reserve your tickets before early bird savings end on October 1st.

You don’t want to miss the opportunity to win prizes like a hotel stay, restaurant gift cards, Washington Capitals tickets, and more! However, this raffle is an in-person only opportunity! That means that if you want to win one of these baskets, buy your ticket today to Aspire’s Achieving Afterschool Celebration on Wednesday, October 22nd!
