EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - A Chippewa Falls non-profit is taking a new approach to fundraising with a calendar raffle. The family support center announced their new “Caring Calendars” raffle. Each calendar is $35 and features images from across the valley. They also come with a free raffle entry. On the last Wednesday of each month in 2026, the center will draw two entries. Both entries will win a prize from a Chippewa Valley business or agency. The center says the raffle is an approachable way to support survivors and their journeys. “There’s such a sense of I want to do something but I don’t know what to do, and so, I think this is an incredible opportunity for something a little outside-the-box. It’s not your normal raffle you’d see every day. You get the chance to win all year and be engaged with us and our work all year,” said Xander Bobolz, the Resource Development Coordinator at the family support center. You can guarantee your entry by ordering your calendar before December 1.
