The New Orleans Saints have announced their commitment to continue the 50/50 Raffle for the 2025 season, which marks the 10th year of this charitable initiative. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit over 10 nonprofits from Louisiana, aimed at supporting various local charitable causes.
The raffle will take place during each home game at the Caesars Superdome, featuring a different beneficiary at every game. Half of the money raised through ticket sales will go to the highlighted nonprofit, while the other half will be awarded to a lucky fan. Last season, the 50/50 Raffle achieved significant success by raising a record $627,794 for local organizations, setting the bar high as the Saints aim to surpass that total in 2025.
Beneficiary Organizations
This season’s beneficiaries include a diverse range of organizations dedicated to essential services and support in the community. Early beneficiaries announced include:
- Louisiana High School Athletic Association
- Bureau of Governmental Research
- Feeding Louisiana
Throughout the season, more organizations will be included in the raffle, such as:
- NAMI Louisiana
- Ochsner’s Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center
- Louisiana Children’s Museum
- Next Op
- Goodwill of Southeastern Louisiana
- The Arc of Louisiana
Details of the Raffle
The first raffle of the season will coincide with the Saints’ preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 17, 2025. Online ticket sales will open several days before each home game, exclusively for Louisiana residents. In-person ticket sales at the stadium will begin two hours before kickoff, providing fans with multiple options to participate.
Participants should note that ticket sales will close at the end of the third quarter of each game. Winners will be announced both at the stadium and on the Saints’ official website, ensuring transparency and accessibility for everyone involved.
Community Engagement
The continued success of the 50/50 Raffle is credited largely to the enthusiastic participation of Saints fans, which has established the program as a vital aspect of the team’s community outreach efforts. The Saints aim to foster support for local charities while giving fans a chance to win significant cash prizes, effectively creating a win-win situation for both the community and the participants.
