White Pines is in the last two week push on one of our major fundraising initiatives that not only supports our students but also offers an incredible opportunity for sports fans in our community.
Until March 21, 2025, we will be hosting a raffle for tickets to the 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Semi-Final and Final games—a thrilling event for any basketball enthusiast. This annual initiative is part of our efforts to enhance educational and extracurricular opportunities for all students in Grades 7 through 12 at White Pines. Each raffle ticket is priced at $20, buyers must be 18 years of age to purchase and redeem, and all proceeds will directly benefit our student body. I have attached our poster for reference.
