Raffle Bus & Prizes

We're Looking for Jamboree Raffle Prizes!

Along with our Raffle Bus, we also raffle off smaller items. All raffle tickets purchased are used for both the smaller items and our main event, the Raffle Bus #33.

If you own a business and would like to donate something you think the VW community would like or could use, we would truly appreciate it. We will announce both businesses and individuals during the raffle and post everyone who makes In-Kind Donations on our Sponsor Page.

Our 33rd Jamboree Raffle Bus

1973 Riviera Camper with Air Conditioning

Wait! Air conditioning? Don't miss out on your chance to win this gem of a bus.

We're just about finished with the restoration. The Bus Club is working hard putting in hours and hours of work restoring this year’s raffle bus, which, we have to say is a great-looking bus as you can see above and in all the pictures showing the progress we’ve made since day one. 

Raffle tickets can only be purchased at the event for $1 each.
Must be present and wearing an event wristband to win.
Anything less is a deal-breaker!

Here’s how you can help:

  1. Print the Donation Letter and the Thank You Letter (below).
  2. Talk with businesses and give them the Donation Letter so they have our Non-Profit FEIN Number and more information about our event and charity (see examples below).
  3. If you receive a donation, complete the Thank You Letter and return it to them for their tax purposes.
  4. Make sure you have all their information (business card) including Business Name, Contact Person, Address, Phone Number, Email, and Value of the Item Donated so we can keep a good record of all donations.
  5. Contact us at info@arizonabusclub.net to arrange a pick-up of the item(s). Or you can bring them to one of our
    General Meetings on the 3rd Wednesday of each month or one of our events prior to the Jamboree.

Any questions, please email us at info@arizonabusclub.net with "Raffle Donation" in the subject line.

Star Gazing on the Playa

Thursday, Sept. 19th @ 8pm

We're gathering at the boat on the Playa for star gazing (see the Jamboree Grounds Map). No city lights to distract us, just dark skies. So bring a chair or blanket and a nice cold refreshment, better yet, it might be a little chilly, so a hot chocolate may be the ticket, then... Lights Out!
Note: We're also working on rounding up a telescope.

70s & 80s Theme Night with DJ Rob & Costume Contest

Friday, Sept. 20th @ 7-10pm

Show off your best 70s or 80s attire and dance to songs that'll bring back the good old days.
