7th Annual Raffle to Support NMGL

Each year the National Museum of the Great Lakes holds a limited raffle in support of our ongoing programs.  Support of this raffle includes helping: 1) school children visit NMGL, 2) public programs delivered all over northern Ohio, 3) shipwreck research, 4) continued restoration of the Col. James M. Schoonmaker, and many, many, other programs.

This raffle is limited to only 2000 tickets, and each ticket is only $100, or get 3 tickets for only $250.  The prizes include a trip aboard a Great Lakes Freighter – something that is literally priceless.  You cannot buy this experience!
