Grand Prize Details
Grand Prize: 1968 Piper Cherokee 180 (N5134L)
The 1968 Piper Cherokee model year featured many improvements: 3 side windows for a panoramic view, a modern instrument panel with a center stack of avionics & the standard basic T flight instrumentation layout, and the Sport-Power Console for the engine controls. The Cherokee 180 is known for its very reliable 180 horsepower Lycoming engine providing plenty of power, good cruise speed, 4 seats and a large 200 lb. baggage compartment capacity with a separate baggage door. Our 180 has less 2,000 hours Total Time and the engine has less than 800 hrs. on its 2,000 TBO engine. Our mechanics and volunteers are installing state-of-the-art IFR avionics including dual GI-275 Attitude and Horizontal Situation Indicators (does away with the problematic vacuum system) integrated with the touchscreen Garmin 650Xi GPS/NAV/COM, GNC-255 NAV/COM and ADS-B In & Out Transponder. This will be the perfect plane for trips with family and friends as well as to receive your training for your Private or advanced ratings! Participants are welcome to check it out at Wings of Hope at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, MO.

Meet Jaley
Jaley was in seventh grade when she was diagnosed with scoliosis that would require surgical intervention. Her mom’s research led her to Shriners Children’s St. Louis. After making the eight-hour drive from their home in Nebraska for the surgery, Jaley and her mom, Jenny, learned about Wings of Hope. Jaley returned to Shriners for four follow-up visits, and Wings of Hope flew her and her mom every trip.
“Everybody’s always so kind,” said Jenny. “Flying with Wings of Hope just makes traveling so much easier.”
100% of the proceeds from this airplane raffle support our mission of changing and saving lives through the power of aviation — Thank You!

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
There are many factors that would prevent emails from making it into your inbox, but primarily the culprit is spam and junk mail filters intercepting your mail. Check your spam folder for your ticket number(s).
If you still don’t see them, no problem! Send an email to raffle@wingsofhope.ngo and request to have your ticket numbers re-sent to you. It is important that you include your first and last name, your mailing address, and your email address so that we can properly identify you in the database.
The drawing will be held on November 15, 2022. Specifics on the time and place will be made available on this page.
The ticket numbers contain three sets of information, separated by a hyphen:
(Order ID #) – (Raffle Campaign ID) – (Raffle Ticket #)
We don’t intend to make this look confusing. We use this system to prevent duplicate tickets from being issued out during high rush ticket sales.
The cost of a raffle ticket is not deductible as a charitable contribution. The IRS considers a raffle ticket to be a contribution from which you benefit. If you receive a benefit from making a donation, you can only deduct the amount of your donation that is greater than the value of the benefit you receive. The IRS explicitly prohibits deducting the cost of raffle tickets as a charitable contribution.
