Dream Big Raffle — Comcast Newsmakers

Comcast Newsmakers’ Mark Curtis and Neighborhood House North Richmond’s Executive Director, Barbara Becnel talk about the home raffle that’s been teasing a lot of aspiring homeowners.

A lot of homeowners are donating their homes to non-profit organizations nowadays. And what the non-profit organizations do is they put these donated multimillion dollar homes up to raffle. One example is the non-profit organization called Neighborhood House of North Richmond. Their official raffle site is called www.DreamBigRaffle.com that gives people a chance to win great prizes like $4.3 million home or $2 million in cold hard cash, and a whole lot more smaller cash prizes.

It’s not just the grand prize is being given away by www.DreamBigRaffle.com. They also give away special prizes like early bird drawings, multiple additional cash prizes, and even opportunities for buying two for one specials.

The website www.DreamBigRaffle.com describes many of the organizations that it supports, which have been sponsored and supported by the nonprofit organization Neighborhood House of North Richmond for over 54 years. And they continue to support and sponsor programs such as alcohol treatment, youth organizations, stopping violence, and senior citizen programs as well, through conducting home raffles. One amazing thing about the home raffles and the Neighborhood House of North Richmond is that the money goes directly to funding programs in the community.

The raffle tickets may vary. Many non-profit organization have their own promo to sell the tickets. Let’s say, the regular cost of one ticket is $175. But since there’s a special occasion going on, like for example father’s day, you can get two tickets by just paying one ticket. The cost of these tickets vary depending on whether you take advantage of early bird specials or purchase more than one ticket at a time.

Here’s another good thing about participating non-profit organizations home raffles. You get to choose which charity or community program you want to benefit for buying a raffle ticket. www.DreamBigRaffle.com does not only gives you the chance to win something but gives you the chance to give back to the community as well.

Participants can also get additional ticket by referring a friend who will ultimately buy a ticket. The participant needs only to make sure that the friend will put them as the referring person.

Now, what exactly can you get for buying a raffle ticket? Well, the home that’s up for raffle now at www.DreamBigRaffle.com has seven bedrooms, seven baths, a home theater and views that cover the whole San Francisco Bay area. In addition, it has floor to ceiling windows and waterfalls inside and out. Now, how’s that for a dream house?
