Kitty Race Raffles

A Weekly 50/50 Raffle Supporting Local Animal Rescues, Veterans, and Faith-Based Organizations

Through our partnership with the Cattitude Café, 605 Raffles is proud to introduce Kitty Race Raffles—a fun, transparent, and community-powered weekly 50/50 raffle designed to raise sustainable funding for the Sioux Falls Humane Society and a growing network of animal rescue, conservation, veteran, and faith-based nonprofits throughout South Dakota.

Every week, the winning number is generated through a live-streamed Kitty Race, where the cats of the Cattitude Café—wearing their numbered jerseys—race out of the "Thunderdome" a playpen to determine the digits. It’s adorable, it’s transparent, and it’s a uniquely engaging way to support the causes you care about.

Built for Nonprofits

Our platform is specifically designed to reduce the human resource burden that nonprofits face when running raffles.
✓ Automated ticketing
✓ Live transparent drawings
✓ Real-time tracking dashboards
✓ Marketing tools that help organizations grow their supporter base

This structure allows nonprofits to participate consistently and sustainably—without the staffing demands of traditional fundraising events.

A Revenue Booster for Local Businesses

Bars, restaurants, cafés, and retailers can join the program as early-bird drawing partners.
Here’s the upside:

• 15% of all venue-generated ticket sales is paid for out of the prize pool funds

• That money is returned to the venue in the form of gift cards, which are distributed during early-bird drawings

• These drawings drive new customer traffic and repeat visits

• Businesses gain a meaningful role in promoting local nonprofits and community involvement

Everyone wins—supporters, nonprofits, and local business owners.

A Community-Powered Weekly Tradition

Kitty Race Raffles bring together animal lovers, veterans, faith communities, families, and neighborhood supporters—all united around one purpose: strengthening the nonprofits that make Sioux Falls and South Dakota stronger.

Your weekly raffle ticket doesn’t just give you a chance to win.
It helps:

• Feed, shelter, and care for rescue animals

• Support conservation efforts

• Strengthen veteran programs

• Uplift local faith organizations

• Bring more customers to local businesses

• Build a sustainable fundraising system for our community
