2026 Reverse Raffle

The Reverse Raffle is one of our signature events that allows us to bestow $3,000 in total to worthy community partners thanks to the generosity of our attendees. We always have such a fun and fabulous night with our guests at this event, and one lucky attendee leaves with a $3,000 grand prize! This year, the Kent Jaycees are pleased to partner with Raven Packs, as this year’s community beneficiary! Raven Packs was formed in June of 2018 to address food insecurity in the Ravenna School District student population. District staff, parents, and community members unified toward this common mission after recognizing that many students in the district do not have access to enough food over weekends and school breaks. Also, please keep in mind that this year's raffle will have a Prom Through the Ages theme. Dressing according to theme is encouraged, but not required!

Tickets are a donation of $100, which includes an open bar and delicious food, a chance to win $3,000 and other prizes, and your generous support of the Kent Jaycees. Attendees can also bid to win community-donated items (bundled in baskets) at our event's silent auction, as well as purchase tickets for other side raffles! Doors for the event will open at 6:00 pm and the night will conclude at 10:00 pm.

Please note that this event is for attendees 21 years-pus.
