Grand Prize: 1974 Piper Warrior (N56947)
The Grand Prize is a 1974 Piper Warrior. You'll be proud to be the pilot of this beautiful looking Piper PA-28-151 Warrior with brand-new Garmin IFR avionics. This is the initial 1974 model year of the Warrior which incorporated the current design tapered wing, larger ailerons and a fuselage stretch of 24”, compared to the previous Cherokees. These changes made for a much more spacious interior, and a better handling, more maneuverable plane. It has ~6,030 TT and less than 450 SMOH on the upgraded 160 HP O-320-E2D Lycoming engine. We’re installing state-of-the-art Garmin IFR avionics: GTN 650Xi GPS/Nav/Com (with moving map display), GNL 215 Nav/Com, GMA 345 Audio-Panel, GTX 345 ADS-B In/Out Transponder (which enables weather and traffic to be shown on the 650) and two GI 275s replacing the Attitude Indicator and the Horizontal Situation Indicator (eliminating the vacuum system). The new avionics will be integrated with the existing STEC 2 axis auto-pilot. The exterior looks beautiful, painted overall white with jaguar green and gold stripes. The interior is also in Great condition with a complimentary tan and beige color scheme. A custom cabin cover, to protect the windows and interior from heat and sun damage, is included. The plane will come with a fresh Annual Inspection and Pitot/Static/Transponder IFR checks completed. It's the perfect plane in which to earn your Private Pilot License, work on an advanced certificate or ratings, or just enjoy the freedom of flying wherever you’d like to go!

Meet CJ
We fly 7-year-old CJ and his mom, Leigh, from their home in central Kansas to Shriners Children’s St. Louis for treatment of clubfoot. Before Leigh learned about Wings of Hope, she would drive CJ to St. Louis (eight hours each way!), leaving right after work and stopping in Kansas City for a few hours of sleep before driving to his appointment and turning around the same day to head back home. Flying with Wings of Hope has turned a grueling drive — with a very active little boy — into a quick two-and-a-half-hour flight. “Wings of Hope has been incredible,” says Leigh. “And Shriners takes the best care of him. Even though it’s far away from us, this is where he needs to go for his treatment.”
100% of the proceeds from this airplane raffle support our mission of changing and saving lives through the power of aviation — Thank You!

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 ticket numbers contain two sets of information, separated by a hyphen:
(Order ID #) – (Tail #) – (Raffle Ticket #)
It is not our intention to make this look confusing. We use this system to prevent duplicate tickets from being issued 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. Link to IRS – Contributions From Which You Benefit
