The proceeds for this year’s Mega Raffle will benefit transportation for Marquette students to and from school and athletic, academic and religious activities.  “We offer so many teams and activities and eighty -five percent of our students participate.  We could not operate as a school without being able to provide transportation.   By purchasing tickets, not only are you supporting Marquette students, but you can win up to $61,000 in cash prizes” said Michael Slaughter , Marquette  Principal. 

Tickets are still available for the Grand Prize drawing that takes place at Marquette on November 30, 2013.  To purchase a ticket you can go to www.marquettecatholic.org/megaraffle and purchase online.
