Flatspot Window Raffle

Full Raffle Details on the blog here.

If you know Flatspot, you know that we are located in a challenging neighbourhood, but it is our neighbourhood and community and we love it. Skateboarding has been an outcast and outlaw for most of its existence and we feel at home in our hood. Unfortunately, the inner city brings some frustrations, mostly in the form of occasionally broken windows. This past week, we took a loss and need some help to get our window repaired. So many from our community have reached out and offered their support. It’s been incredible, heartwarming, and overwhelming. Y’all are so great! We want to give back to the community that is rallying around us. So in an effort to give thanks, and with the support of our brands, we’re hosting a raffle! Find out how to support and enter…

So many of our friends, fans, customers and community have reached out to ask how they can help. Some have shared our challenges on their socials, others have made purchases, and still others have just straight up made donations. You kindness and consideration has really lifted our spirits and is even a little bit much for us to handle in some ways. We can’t thank you enough. In an effort to give back, even when we’ve been knocked down, we have connected with out brands to bring together a stack of prizes to Raffle off.

raf·fle
/ˈraf(ə)l/
noun
a means of raising money by selling numbered tickets, one or some of which are subsequently drawn at random, the holder or holders of such tickets winning a prize.
“a raffle ticket”

Seems pretty simple right? Right. There are lots of ways for us to raise funds. In the past we have done an auction. So, why would we run a raffle rather than an auction? Well, auctions often fall strictly to the individual(s) that have the most money to play with and this isn’t our goal. You know if you buy a ticket you have a chance of winning and it’s not simply based on how much you have or how much you can give. That’s important to us because we wanted give you an opportunity to support and win without it being capitalistic – every bit helps and we appreciate it all.

How to Win

There are three ways to enter and win!

• If you like, share, and tag a friend in the post, you will be entered into the raffle at no cost and will receive (1) entry. *Maximum of one (1) entry.
• If you buy a raffle ticket for $25, you will be entered into the raffle and receive three (3) entries for every $25 ticket you purchase. *One Raffle ticket per person, maximum three (3) entries.
• If you make a purchase in-store or online, you will be entered into the raffle and receive two (2) entries for every $100 purchased. *Limited to one purchase, maximum six (6) entries.

You are welcome to enter the Raffle all three ways, and we encourage you to do so! Unfortunately, you can only enter each level and receive those entries once. This is to discourage capitalistic leverage. Simply having more money to buy more entries than anyone else is not going to be rewarded, sorry. While we appreciate the financial help, we want to make this Raffle about giving back and not about rigging it to win. So if you Like, Share, Comment, Tag, you will get one Raffle Entry. If you then make a store purchase, you will get two more entries for every $100 purchased, but will only qualify to enter once, with a maximum of six entries. Lastly, if you purchase a raffle ticket for $25 you will get three entries, but will not be able to buy additional tickets for more chances. So if you support our Socials, make a Purchase of $100 and Buy a Raffle Ticket for $25, you will have a total of 6 entries into the raffle. If you shared on social, purchased $300+ and bough a Raffle Ticket, then you will have a maximum of ten 10 entries.

No single person will be able to have more than 10 entries into the Raffle.

The Odds
The short answer is, you have a great chance of winning a prize. There are over 20 prizes and a maximum of 10 entries per person. Those are pretty good odds and we intend to keep adding prizes through the weekend.

The goal is to spread some stoke to as many people as we can who have helped us through this challenge. So there will be no multiple winners. While you may have higher odds of winning, once you have one a prize, your name will be removed from the pool. That means more people will have a chance to win and the odds will improve as winners and their additional entries are taken out of the running.

Deadline

Raffle will end Monday, December 9th, 5:00pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) in Vancouver.
