- Purchasing a raffle ticket not only enters the ticket holder for a chance to win great prizes like SXSW film badges, but also gets you an invite to the best party in town where we won't judge you for your holiday sweaters or demote you if you get a little tipsy.
- The invite-only party will include a screening of holiday inspired 16mm films from Cinema Bomar, sweet treats from Treebeards Restaurant , appetizers courtesy of Tacos A Go-Go, and libations thanks to the support of Saint Arnold Brewery, WorldFest and Stockholm Vodka. But the only way in is via Aurora membership or holiday raffle ticket purchase. Aurora members and raffle ticket buyers will be notified of secret date, time and location along with special instructions on festive holiday attire.
- The annual Aurora holiday raffle is designed to raise money to support the mission and programs of Aurora Picture Show, including artist honorariums, airfares for visiting artists, as well as youth media literacy initiatives. Aurora Picture Show is a 501(c)(3) organization [Fed. ID #76-0612928] and donations are tax deductible.
