CHANCE TO WIN BRAND NEW HOME CAN HELP AREA NON-PROFIT
How would you like to win a brand new luxury home in the heart of the San Francisco Bay area and help a local non-profit organization, all for $100?
To continue its work providing scholarships to youth and long-term residential living services for adults, A Positive Force Leadership Corporation (APF) is raising funds by offering the public a chance to win a 4-bedroom, 3.5 bath custom home located in Marin County’s exclusive Arrowood Estates, just minutes from San Francisco.
The raffle for the home began July 15 and runs until October 14. In addition to the home, there will be 930 secondary prizes, including several cash prizes of $10,000, $5,000, $2,500, $500, and $100.
“Non-profits play a critical role in our country, regardless of whether they provide social services, pro bono legal or mental health services, free health care, or support to the arts and culture,” says Chester France, a Partner with Charity Home Raffle, the licensed and bonded company assisting APF to conduct the raffle.
“This raffle will help APF to continue playing a vital role in promoting community enhancement, urban and economic development, and leadership skills throughout the community,” France continues.
Founded in 2000, APF has provided financial literacy, voter registration, youth scholarships, and training on independent living skills. APF volunteers mentor at-risk youth, foster and urban youth between the ages of 12 and 24, and adults.
“Innovative approaches to fundraising, such as Home Raffles, can provide sustainability for charitable organizations even in our current economy. With assistance from Charity Home Raffle, we’re able to gain funds to continue our mission of supporting the community,” said Debra Richardson, Executive Director from APF
Charity Home Raffle conducts raffles for high-end homes that the owner or developer wants to sell. Proceeds from all of the company’s raffles are used to deliver the appraised value of the home to the owner or developer, while generating substantial revenue for the designated non-profit organization.
“In the current real estate market, home raffles offer a opportunity to receive the appraised value of a home, while supporting a worthy charity. It’s truly a win-win solution”, said Chris Dyer, homeowner of the home to be raffled.
The raffle to help APF and possibly win a custom luxury home (or one of 930 cash prizes) is open to all persons over the age of 18. Tickets are $100 each and may be purchased by fax, mail, or phone. For more details about how to enter the raffle, complete contest rules, and the official raffle entry form, go to www.APFRaffle.com.

USAHomeRaffle.com and Charity Home Raffle Join Forces to help homeowners and Charities
BALTIMORE - (Business Wire) Two of the country’s top home raffle companies – Charity Home Raffle (CHR) and USAHomeRaffle.com both of which are based in Maryland – are joining forces to help homeowners trapped in the current housing market and charitable organizations struggling to provide existing services.
Under the new joint marketing agreement, the two companies will be positioned to offer end-to-end assisted solutions for homeowners and charitable organizations. The first result of this agreement is a raffle for A Positive Force Raffle (www.apfraffle.com), which is managed by Charity Home Raffle with Internet Marketing assistance from USA Home Raffle.
CHR conducts raffles for high-end homes that the owners want to sell. Proceeds from each CHR raffle are used to deliver the appraised value of the home to the owner, while generating substantial revenue for a designated charity.
USAHomeRaffle.com pairs homeowners with non-profit organizations and manages an extensive national database of charities and homeowners interested in raffling their homes. Once a homeowner and charity have been paired and approved to conduct a raffle, USAHomeRaffle.com then provides web development, online ticket management and Internet marketing services.
“With home sales and charitable contributions both continuing to lag in the face of a slow economic recovery, this agreement will enable CHR and USAHomeRaffle.com to extend their services to additional users nationwide, while allowing each company to focus on its core strengths,” explains CHR Chief Executive Officer Kevin Ellis.
Under the new agreement, CHR will focus on assisting charity and homeowner pairs in completing regulatory hurdles, and defining the rules, strategy, and prizes for each raffle. CHR also will provide accounting certification of raffle tickets and awarded prizes, handle marketing and traditional advertising, and operate 24/7 ticket order phone and fax lines.
USAHomeRaffle.com will maintain the listing of all nationwide current home raffles on its website. They will also continue to pair homeowners with non-profits. The matches that are made via USAHomeRaffle.com can be referred to Charity Home Raffle for their raffle management services. USAHomeRaffle.com will provide the web development/online ticket processing and the Internet marketing services.
“This is a win-win for both of our companies, as well as for the homeowners and charities with whom we work,” says Ellis.
Charity Home Raffle recently received a significant investment from Deal Metrics Private Equity Group, enabling CHR to expand its operations nationally and underwrite advertising and other costs associated with management and promotion.
The concept of raffling a home for charity has proven effective and often attempted. Past experience, however, shows that such raffles are successful only when properly managed and promoted.

Deal Metrics Makes Significant Investment In Charity Home Raffle
BALTIMORE, MD -- Baltimore-based Deal Metrics Private Equity Group today announced a significant investment in Charity Home Raffle, LLC.
Charity Home Raffle, a licensed and bonded professional solicitor also based in Baltimore, conducts raffles involving high-end homes for sale by owners or developers. Proceeds from raffle ticket sales are used to deliver the appraised value of the home to the homeowner or developer while generating substantial revenue for a designated charity.
"Given the current state of the U.S. housing market, it's difficult for both sellers and buyers to transact sales," explains Charity Home Raffle Partner Kevin Ellis. "Our raffles enable a developer or homeowner to sell their house and one lucky individual to get a great deal on owning a home. It's a classic win-win."
According to Deal Metrics' Managing Director Luke Cooper, "Our investment will strengthen the infrastructure of Charity Home Raffle and enable the company to better provide win-win solutions for homeowners and nonprofits. Advertising, which will be underwritten through this investment, will help generate awareness and interest in Charity Home Raffle from potential winners, homeowners, and nonprofits. This interest, in turn, will help to promote raffle tickets sales while growing the number of homeowners and charities that use Charity Home Raffle."
Deal Metrics' investment will be utilized for online, broadcast TV, and print advertising, as well as ongoing operations within Charity Home Raffle. In addition, the investment will allow Charity Home Raffle "to expand beyond our current base in the Mid-Atlantic to other areas of the country where home sales have been devastated by the economic downturn, such as Florida and California," says Ellis.
The concept of raffling a home for charity has been proven effective and often attempted. Past experience, however, shows that such raffles are only successful when properly managed and promoted. The investment by Deal Metrics will ensure proper management and promotion for Charity Home Raffle.
"Nonprofits play a critical role in our country by providing affordable and accessible services in key sectors such as social welfare, arts and culture, education, religion, health care, etc.," Ellis concludes. "With the investment by Deal Metrics, we are now able to expand operations and properly promote and manage our product, while making a real contribution to the charities that are so essential to our communities."
Charity Home Raffle currently is handling home raffles that will help to support two nonprofits, the Sojourner Christian Academy and Second Chance Services Unlimited.
The investment in Charity Home Raffle is the latest major investment made by Deal Metrics. Last fall, Deal Metrics acquired the food service division of Brigham's Ice Cream, located in Boston, Massachusetts. Deal Metrics will continue to focus on supporting existing portfolio companies and on originating and completing mid-market acquisitions in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the country.

Home Raffles
Raffles for homes have been all over the news and Internet lately. Some say that it’s the concept could rebound the American economy. Some, like the endless parade of “rubber neckers” who delay traffic on one side of the freeway, because someone has a flat just across the concrete barrier; just talk about the downsides.
Without the aid of a crystal ball or specific divine intervention, I can’t say that either group is absolutely correct. What I do know is that home raffles for charity interest me, and obviously lots of you.
