Money from this year's raffle will help Shamarr Allen host children's clinics

Threadhead Charity Raffle Closes Saturday

The Threadhead Charity Raffle, hosted annually by the 501(c) nonprofit organization the Threadhead Cultural Foundation, closes this Saturday at 6 p.m.

Since 2005, the Threadheads have held the raffle as part of a “give-back philosophy” in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

To date, tens of thousands of dollars have been raised and distributed, and this year’s beneficiaries will include the Threadhead Cultural Foundation, The New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic, and children’s music clinics hosted by Silence is Violence and Shamarr Allen.

There are some great prizes to be had, including gift vouchers, New Orleans and Jazz Fest memorabilia, a Crescent City getaway package, and lots of music! 

Make your purchases on their website here, and help a great cause at the same time.
