Raffle
The Alliance Française de Buffalo Raffle is drawn in December during the annual Holiday Dinner. Proceeds from the raffle help to underwrite Outreach Community Programs to students who are studying French in area high schools, and sponsor one student to go to France for a month under our Scholarship Program. They allow the Alliance Française de Buffalo to sponsor a French Play by a French Touring Company every fall.
In 2008, the Alliance Française de Buffalo will hold its annual raffle, coupled with a Silent Auction, on December 7th during the Holiday Dinner. Call today to have your prize and name listed.
