Powered by Beechmont Ford: A Look Back at the 2026 Raptor Raffle

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Beechmont Ford, the 2026 Raptor Raffle gave our community an exciting opportunity to support student-athletes at Anderson High School while offering the chance to win a brand-new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend.

Hosted by the Anderson Athletic Boosters and proudly supported by Beechmont Ford and Mark Williams Auto Group, this year’s raffle was more than just a giveaway it was a powerful example of what a community can accomplish when it comes together for a common cause.

A Prize Worth the Hype

At the heart of the Raptor Raffle was an incredible grand prize: a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend. This wasn’t a lease or temporary promotion the lucky winner became the full owner of this adventure-ready SUV.

Known for its rugged capability, versatility, and modern design, the Bronco Sport Big Bend captured the attention of many participants. It represented more than just a vehicle symbolizing adventure, freedom, and new possibilities.

And for one fortunate winner, that dream became a reality on March 24, 2026, when the drawing officially took place.

Supporting Anderson High School Athletics

While the excitement of the prize drew attention, the true purpose of the Raptor Raffle was to support the Anderson Athletic Booster Club. Every ticket sold contributed directly to funding programs, equipment, and opportunities for student-athletes.

Athletics play a critical role in shaping students’ experiences, helping them build discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills. The funds raised through this raffle will continue to support these opportunities, ensuring that athletes have the resources they need to succeed.

From uniforms and travel expenses to facility upgrades and training tools, the impact of this event will be felt long after the raffle ended.

A Community Effort

The success of the 2026 Raptor Raffle would not have been possible without strong community partnerships. Beechmont Ford’s sponsorship played a key role in bringing this event to life, alongside the support of Mark Williams Auto Group.

These partnerships highlight the importance of local businesses investing in their communities. Their contributions helped create an event that not only generated excitement but also delivered meaningful support for student athletes.

Strong Participation and Excitement

Leading up to the March 23 ticket deadline, the community showed tremendous support for the raffle. With ticket options priced at $25 for one or $100 for five, participants had multiple ways to get involved and increase their chances of winning.

Beyond the chance to win a brand-new vehicle, participants were motivated by the opportunity to give back. Each ticket represented a shared commitment to supporting Anderson athletics.

More Than Just a Raffle

Now that the event has concluded, it’s clear that the Raptor Raffle was about much more than the prize. It brought together students, families, local businesses, and community members in support of a common goal.

Events like this help strengthen connections and reinforce the value of community involvement. They remind us that when people come together, they can create opportunities that truly make a difference.

Looking Ahead
