Why the Big Ticket Matters
When you purchase a Big Ticket, you are doing more than entering a raffle.
You are investing in:
– Scholarships and financial aid that make a Marmion education accessible
– Alumni programs and events that keep our community connected
– The continued growth and mission of the Marmion Alumni Association
– The next generation of Marmion cadets

With only 1,000 tickets available, every ticket plays a meaningful role in supporting Marmion Academy and the people who make it special.
