Black Hills State Athletics will be holding its fifth annual Gold Rush Raffle and Auction on Friday, April 22, and online bidding for the silent auction is now open.

To participate in the silent auction, users must go online to Givesmart.com to bid on items. Silent auction items are open for bidding now, and will close during the Gold Rush event.

Tickets for the event are selling fast, and only a handful are left. You can purchase your ticket online HERE.

Raffle tickets are 50 dollars each, and a maximum of 400 tickets will be sold. Participants must be at least 18 years old to purchase and do not have to be present to win.

One ticket admits one person to the event and includes one entry into the Reverse Raffle.

When purchasing, please make sure to indicate whether you plan to attend or not attend, as well as if you would like to split or not split the grand prize if chosen.

This year we are selling tables of six, which include two BHSU student-athletes at the table as well. The table of six costs $200 per table without any raffle tickets included, or $400 per table to have six raffle tickets included.

To purchase a table or an entry-only ticket (no raffle) please contact Thayer Trenhaile at Thayer.Trenhaile@bhsu.edu, or at (605) 642-6460.

The night will be filled with fun and games while raising money for scholarships at BHSU. This is a great opportunity to interact with and get to know Yellow Jacket coaches and student-athletes.
