Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BATAVIA, NY \u2013 Tuesday, March 31, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 The Batavia Rotary Club is gearing up for its next major community fundraiser, an event designed not just for entertainment but to power the club’s extensive grant-giving mission in Batavia. The upcoming community Meat Raffle is scheduled for Saturday, April 11th<\/strong>, hosted at Notre Dame High School<\/strong>. Doors open at 5:00 PM<\/strong>, with the first drawing kicking off at 6:00 PM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our Meat Raffles are always a high-energy evening, but the true impact happens long after the winners take home their premium cuts,” said Lynn VanDerBeck<\/strong>, President of the Batavia Rotary Club. “The proceeds from this event are a critical funding source for our robust community programs. When you purchase a ticket for the raffle, you are directly investing in the diverse and vital local organizations that Batavia relies on.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An admission ticket of $15.00<\/strong> includes beer, wine, and soda, securing attendees their spot at Notre Dame. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own snacks and, most importantly, a large cooler to take home their winnings. The night will feature multiple rounds of raffles, offering numerous chances to win varied and substantial meat packages, basket raffles, and door prizes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the main meat raffle, the Batavia Rotary is hosting a spectacular Bonus Raffle<\/strong>.. Tickets for the bonus raffle are $10 each<\/strong> or three for $25<\/strong>, offering a chance to win one of four marquee prizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
