The Vegas Golden Knights Foundation announced a major fundraising milestone as they raised more than $1.8 million during the 2024-25 NHL season with their unique 51/49 Raffle. The 51/49 Raffle took place at all of the home games at T-Mobile Arena, where fans can buy a raffle ticket for a 51% chance to win the total pot, while the remaining 49%, or $1,805,470, will be donated to the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation.
The money raised will support a range of charities in the Las Vegas area, including the Vegas Jr. Golden Knights youth hockey program.
The 51/49 Raffle, which has been a part of Golden Knights' home games to enhance fan experience and encourage community involvement, is back. While fans walked the arena, ticket sellers walked the concourse selling tickets, and the winner was announced in the third period.
The successes from this season demonstrate that the support from the fans and community is strong and show that the Golden Knights organization is serious about its commitment to positively affecting the community long after the game is over.
