About This Fundraiser
What is the Travel Raffle?
Selling Travel Raffle tickets is an easy way for our singers to raise money towards future Spirito tours. Whether a singer plans to travel locally, nationally, or internationally with Spirito, the money they earn from our Travel Raffle goes directly to their tour account.
How does the Travel Raffle work?
Travel Raffle tickets will be sold between October 1 and November 15, 2026. Singers may sell tickets to anyone they can think of who would like to support their touring. This year, our Travel Raffle is for a Trip for 2 to London, England January 13-17, 2028. The trip includes the following:
- Round-trip airfare from Chicago O’Hare Airport
- 3 nights in 3- and 4-star centrally-located hotels in double or twin rooms
- All air taxes, fuel surcharges, and hotel taxes
- Continental breakfasts daily
- Traveler’s insurance through Encore Tours
- Option to extend the trip (additional fees apply)
Travel Raffle tickets cost $20 per ticket or 3 for $50. Ticket sales end on November 15th. The winner will be announced at our winter concert on December 6. Participants do not need to be present to win. The singer who sells the winning raffle ticket will receive an extra $50 for their Personal Tour Account.
Personal Tour Accounts and Tour Grant Fund
Every Spirito Singer has a Personal Tour Account in their name, into which they can deposit all their fundraising earnings to be held in escrow until they wish to withdraw it. 80% of a singer’s fundraiser earnings goes directly to their PTA, and the remaining 20% is deposited into a Communal Tour Grant Fund. Any singer may submit an application to withdraw funds from the CTGF before a tour, and applications will be reviewed by Spirito Staff and board members to ensure equitable distribution of funding.
Singers will be notified of their PTA balance every time a tour is announced, and by request. Singers may choose to withdraw none, all, or just part of their PTA balance to pay for a tour. If a singer graduates or leaves Spirito with money still in their PTA, that money will be transferred to the CTGF, and made accessible to everyone.
