PMF Raffles were first introduced in 2025 as a new way for you support the Pelham Music Festival, with all monies raised going directly towards funding our program. (Registration and ticket sales only cover about half our expenses, so additional fundraising is vital to the festival’s continued viability.)
They were a great success, and have become a new PMF tradition!
Each session has its own raffle, drawn after performances are complete, with tickets on sale near the check-in desk, or from one of our roving ticket sellers. The more tickets you buy, the greater your chances of winning!
Below are some of our recent prizes.
A huge THANK YOU to all our generous donors! Please click on the images to visit their sites.

(If winner does not want to pose for the portrait on the day, this prize can be traded in for a $100 coupon to use towards the cost of a headshot or family portrait session with Liz.)
Songcatchers have donated a number of prizes over the years, including a violin, an acoustic guitar (both used but in good condition), and multiple series of four free after-school music lessons.

NOTE: Students/children are always welcome at WCMS concerts and attend for free.
For PMF26, an anonymous donor gave us a $120 gift card for Westchester Philharmonic.
The final raffle of the day is a 50/50, with half the money from that session’s raffle ticket sales going to the winner and Pelham Music Festival keeping the other half — the more tickets sold, the larger the pot!
* For the last 2 years, the winner has generously donated their winnings back to us, for which we are very grateful!
