Ticket sales for the California Youth Symphony Benefit Raffle will take place between April 5, 2024 and June 2, 2024. Tickets cost $10.00 each. All proceeds will benefit the California Youth Symphony. The winners of the Raffle will be chosen by random drawing of purchased raffle tickets. The drawing will be held at the CYS Season Finale Concert on June 2, 2024 at the San Mateo Performing Arts Center. Concert begins at 2:30 PM. The winner need not be present at the concert. Each winner's name will be posted on the CYS webpage. All reasonable efforts will be made to contact the winners, but if a winner does not claim their prize by June 10, 2024 an additional ticket will be drawn at random and the prize will be awarded to the new ticket holder. All winners must provide the entry ticket to prove that they are the holders of a winning ticket. Any disputes that may arise over the Raffle will be decided solely by the California Youth Symphony in a manner that is fair and equitable to Raffle participants.
