Even though winter may be making a final push this year, an escape may be a little bit closer than you think.  The Butte Elks Lodge #240 has announced their 2026 Community Fundraiser and it is one that will not only support the historic lodge but also give you a chance to win a truly memorable tropical getaway.  Here are the details.

Tickets are available for purchase at $50 for one or $100 for three.  Each ticket will provide entry into drawings for the following prizes:

  • GRAND PRIZE- The tropical vacation is yours to select.  Choose from thousands of RCI properties.  The winner will receive round-trip airfare and a one-week condo stay at their chosen destination and reservations must be made six months in advance.
  • SECOND PRIZE - The second prize this year is a $500 Visa gift card
  • THIRD PRIZE - A $200 gift card to La Casa Toscana will be awarded at third prize.

The drawing will take place during a festive evening on Saturday, April 11th at the Elks Lodge on Galena Street.  Festivities will take place from 4pm to 6pm with appetizers, happy hour and live music from the Time Bandits.  The drawing will take place at 5pm and attendance is not required to win.

Your involvement in this fundraiser enables the Elks to advance their longstanding commitment to service within the Butte community.  All proceeds directly benefit charitable initiatives and community programs of Butte Elks Lodge #240.

To purchase a ticket stop by the Elks Lodge #240 and for further information or questions please email butte240elks@yahoo.com.
