BRISTOL, Tenn.-Va. (June 20, 2024) – The Birthplace of Country Music (BCM) is proud to announce the launch of its sixth annual Bristol Sessions Super Raffle, the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. The raffle gives participants the chance to win more than $250,000 in cash and big prizes including a 2024 Toyota Tacoma 4 x 4, a Forest River Salem FSX RV, 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium, 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS AWD, a 2024 Indian Scout motorcycle, and an amazing Italian vacation experience for two.
“Only 5,000 raffle tickets are sold and each ticket offers two chances to win,” said BCM Executive Director of Advancement Leah Ross. “We are very grateful to our community partners who have helped us create such an incredible prize package this year. All of the proceeds go toward operating costs of the museum. Every raffle ticket purchase makes a difference.”
The Raffle drawing will take place 12 to 4 p.m. ET, Sept. 15, 2024 outside the Birthplace of Country Music Museum during the 23rd annual Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion music festival. A winner will be drawn every five minutes during the four-hour event. The drawing will stream live on the Birthplace of Country Music YouTube and Facebook pages and broadcast live on WBCM Radio Bristol which can be accessed on the air at 100.1 FM in the Bristol area, online at ListenRadioBristol.org, and through the station’s free mobile app.
Winners do not have to be present at the drawing to win; winners will be notified via phone, text, or email, and listed on the Bristol Sessions Super Raffle website at BristolSessionsSuperRaffle.org.
