All proceeds will benefit the Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra. The winners of the Raffle will be chosen by random drawing of purchased raffle tickets.

All winners must provide the entry ticket to prove that they are the holders of a winning ticket. Any disputes that may arise over the Raffle will be decided solely by the Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra in a manner that is fair and equitable to Raffle participants.
