Raffstar was created with two goals in mind: generate awareness and eventually raise funds for charities. We believe that people have a desire to help. But we also realize most people don't have unlimited time and finances to offer. And even if you did have the time to volunteer at a local soup kitchen or you can drop a $50,000 check for third-world refugees; there are so many wonderful charities that it can be hard to choose just one.
At Raffstar, you don't have to pick just one charity. We’ve created an innovative way for people to support many- at absolutely no cost to the charities or the supporters. The more people that visit Raffstar, the more awareness is generated and eventually finances will be generated for each of the sponsored charities. When you get a ticket, you can rest assured that you are doing your part to help support charities and make the world a better place. So have at it, do your part and have some fun!

"When I had my accident, I thought my dream (of flying) was over, but I was wrong. Challenge Air showed me that...I'll have to make a few alterations to my plans, but the ultimate dream will still come true. Dreams don't have to disappear, but sometimes attitudes do!" - Tony Nieves, Challenge Air Participant; Pembroke Pines, FL
