Decoding Developmental Epilepsies

Sweepstakes Giveaway of Donated Taylor Swift Tickets

This may be the single largest fundraiser we've had in over 10 years fighting SCN8A epilepsy.

Posted May 8, 2024

Background & Context

We are a small nonprofit, yet are the leading SCN8A patient advocacy organization. We maintain the only SCN8A caregiver registry, and provide services directly to families and clinicians-including weekly family meetings with leading SCN8A researchers. This additional revenue will go directly into our scientific efforts, both existing and future.

Immediate Problem

We need to make sure that we aren't in violation of any laws if we have a sweepstakes for these concert tickets. We also need to address the issue of multiple entries. Here are the rules and regulations for the example mentioned above.

Work & Deliverables

We are a 501(c)(3) incorporated in D.C. We were given a pair of Taylor Swift concert tickets for an upcoming date in Germany. We don't have enough time to register with the DC Lottery to raffle these off, so we plan to have a sweepstakes. We have researched and found some others (https://www.tapkat.org/the-cobra-experience/aEDvO9) who are doing it legally and we intend to mirror what they've done.
