The Wings of Hope (WOH) Airplane Raffle is a fundraising raffle to support the organization’s charitable humanitarian flight services with 100% of the money raised through the Raffle going to support these efforts. You can learn more about our Mission and Program by visiting our website: www.WingsOfHope.ngo.

The Raffle is conducted in the state of Missouri, the state where WOH is based, and is open to participants who are at least 18 years of age at the time of purchase and who are a permanent resident of the 48 contiguous states in the United States. WoH employees, board members, volunteers, and members of their intermediate family are not eligible to participate. The Raffle is being conducted and governed pursuant to Missouri law.

1. Tickets can only be purchased in the state of Missouri via the internet at www.WingsOfHope.ngo and all tickets are considered sold in Missouri when purchased. By purchasing a ticket, each participant agrees to be bound by and adhere to the terms and conditions contained in these Rules.

2. You may participate by purchasing as many raffle tickets as you wish. However, only 5,000 tickets will be sold. Every ticket will be issued with a discrete number and that number is not repeated. If you buy more than one ticket, each will have a different number on it. The ticket numbers will be emailed to the email address you provide. We are not responsible for any lost or misdirected email. If you do not receive your raffle ticket numbers via email within 24 hours after purchase, you should contact us by email at “raffle@wingsofhope.ngo” or call us at 800-448-9487.

3. The deadline to be eligible for the drawing is to purchase a ticket or tickets before 5,000 tickets are sold or by April 1, 2023, unless extended, whichever comes first. A ticket is “sold” for purposes of calculating the number of tickets sold when WOH receives full payment for that ticket. Anyone attempting to buy a ticket after 5,000 tickets have been sold will have their purchase fully refunded. Except for refunding the purchase, we are not responsible if your purchase cannot be processed because we have already sold 5,000 tickets or if your payment arrives after 5,000 tickets have been sold or your payment arrives after the deadline for purchase.

4. The winners are determined by a random drawing to take place at 18370 Wings of Hope Boulevard, Chesterfield, Missouri at Wings of Hope, Inc. on May 1, 2023. The location, date, and time will also be posted on website: www.WingsOfHope.ngo. You are welcome to come and observe the drawing which will be conducted by the independent accounting firm of Fick, Eggemeyer, and Williamson. The winners do not have to be physically present at the drawing to win.

5. There are four prizes:

a. 1963 Cessna 182 N3191U – A 182 with all sorts of upgrades for unimproved runway use; Horton Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) kit, Oversized nose and main landing gear and tires, Cleveland brakes, front-seat shoulder harnesses and Flap and Aileron gap seals. We just installed a “zero-time” overhauled 230 HP engine and upgraded the IFR avionics with 430 WAAS moving map GPS (shows weather and traffic), and an ADS-B Out & In interface supported with a GDL-88. Total time is only 5,000 hr and it has very good paint and interior. Just imagine hauling yourself and 3 friends to back country adventures! Participants are welcome to check it out at Wings of Hope at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, MO. The airplane value is estimated at $113,773.62. The value may vary up to 10% based on the final configuration of the Aircraft. This prize must be claimed by June 1, 2023. Documentation to be provided with the airplane includes FAA Certificate of Airworthiness, all logbooks, Bill of Sale and applicable IRS forms.

b. The second prize is a $5,000 scholarship toward obtaining your Private Pilot License. You can use your scholarship toward a more advanced rating (IFR, Commercial, etc.) So even if you have a PPL – you can use the prize! The scholarship has a cash value. And NO, we will not give you the cash or split the cash value for training among more than one student – we will arrange to purchase whatever packaged training would be available at your chosen FAA approved flight school/instructor for a more advanced rating, but only up to the cash value of the scholarship (not to exceed $5,000). Prize must be claimed by June 1, 2023.

c. The third prize is a Bose A20 Aviation Headset. Prize must be claimed by June 1, 2023.

6. The winners will be notified by phone and/or by email and/or mail and all participants will be notified of the winners on our website: www.WingsOfHope.ngo. A winner will be disqualified if the winner cannot be reached after a reasonable effort has been extended, is determined to be ineligible, or cannot or does not comply with our Official Rules. WOH will have made a reasonable effort to reach a winner if it has made at least two attempts to contact the winner via phone or by the email address provided when purchasing his/her ticket. If a winner is disqualified or declines acceptance of the prize, Wings of Hope will redraw to identify another winner for that prize. All winners agree and consent to disclosure of their identity and use of photographs or images of them with their prizes for promotional use.

7. Each winner is solely responsible for all taxes (including federal, Missouri, and local taxes if any, as well as registration, insurance, and other expenses incurred with claiming the prize.
