One of Red Sled's favorite traditions is back - The Family Raffle. Purchase tickets for just $5 each for a chance to win one of 26 amazing prizes. No limit on the number of tickets you can purchase.
You will find something everyone will love in the raffle - don't forget to let the kids pick out their favorite items! Or, buy some tickets and maybe cross an item off the holiday shopping list. And, while you are at it, you might find a little something special for yourself - you deserve it!

Winners will be posted on the website after the live event and will be contacted by phone to coordinate the delivery of their prize.
Our raffle could not take place without all of the generous donations from Ogden families, staff and local businesses. A huge thank you to all of those people who continue to donate, and for our new donors as well - we truly appreciate your support of Ogden.
