Catholic Schools holding annual CUF raffle

Local Catholic schools like St. Edward's in Minneota are enhancing education through a student-led raffle with 100 percent of sales staying at every school.
Students will be selling raffle tickets for a few more weeks, and it’s a great platform to show communities coming together for education. Students in this year’s participating schools represent 5,000 families and 500 classrooms.
The raffle runs from now until Feb. 22. The Grand Prize is $20,000. First prize is $5,000, second is $1,000, third is $500, and there will also be other prizes worth $100. Watch the live prize drawing at 11 a.m. on March 12, 2026 at catholicunitedfinancial.org/raffle.

CUF's investment has helped inject $16 million into Catholic schools around the Upper Midwest sine 2009.
