The July 2022 flood and its aftermath has been one of the most tumultuous periods of Appalshop’s 55-year history. We know firsthand how long healing and recovery takes—as our process is ongoing. But, as quickly as the waters receded, the people arrived. We were mesmerized by the levels of support we received in the days and weeks following—friends and supporters from all over the world showed up at our doorstep, wanting to help however they could. That experience, as traumatic as it was, also reinforced something we’ve always known–our communities support and show up for one another.
We remain committed to that belief. To support the recovery of our neighboring communities, we are hosting a series of raffles, each featuring art and media from Appalshop’s catalog of films, albums, books, and merch, as well as art from our staff and long-time collaborators. There are 4 separate raffles, each with varying themes and items. One raffle ticket is priced at $20 and will provide you one entry to a prize bundle of your choosing. There is no limit to how many tickets you can order, and you may enter as many raffles as you like.
100% of the proceeds of these raffles will benefit the Appalachian Helene Response Fund, initiated by the Appalachian Funders Network, who will work with partners within the impacted communities on intermediate and long-term recovery efforts across Appalachia. We also encourage you to look at and support their list of Mutual Aid networks who are providing direct material needs to people in the region.
The raffle will be open from Friday, October 18, 2024, to Friday, November 15, 2024. All raffle tickets should be purchased before 6:00 pm on November 15th, when the raffle will close. A drawing for each bundle of raffle prizes will occur on the evening of November 15.
We will begin contacting the four winners on Monday, November 18th by email and/or phone. To give everyone time to accept their prizes, the raffle winners will be publicly announced in late November and prizes will be shipped out soon after.
We thank you for participating and helping support these long-term recovery efforts. And to those who enter—good luck!
Disclaimer: By purchasing a raffle ticket, you will have a chance to win one of these bundles. Your purchase does not guarantee you will win any of the bundles offered. If, by chance, the same person is drawn to win more than one bundle, they will be asked to choose which one they'd like to receive and another person will be drawn for the unchosen bundle(s).
