Fix’n Fidos Lexus Champions For Charity National Championship Official Rules and Regulations

​

Fix’n Fidos (FF), a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is conducting this raffle pursuant to California Penal Code Section 320.5, et seq, to raise funds for ongoing charitable purposes. The Rules and Regulations of the FF raffle are set forth below. By purchasing a raffle ticket, the purchaser agrees to be bound by these rules and regulations. FF’s interpretation and application of the rules and regulations shall be final.

The Drawing for FF will be held on Sunday, October 6, 2024 at the 4th Annual Fix’n Fidos Golf Tournament at Monarch Beach Golf Links in Dana Point CA. FF reserves the right to conduct the drawing at an earlier date after the final date of ticket sales. Tickets may sell out before that time. The winner does not need to be present to win.

Only 1,000 tickets will be sold. The chances of winning are based on that number. If fewer tickets are sold, the chances of winning the Grand Prize improves. The IRS has taken the position that amounts paid for chances in raffles, lotteries or similar drawings for valuable prizes are not gifts, and consequently do not qualify as deductible charitable contributions. Consult your tax advisor.
