Hamilton Ticket Raffle: In support of MN immigrants

A $20 raffle ticket buys you a 1:250 chance of winning a pair of Hamilton tickets for September 22 at 8PM at the Orpheum Theatre!

100% of the price of your ticket will support immigrants in Minnesota, through the International Institute of MN.

The International Institute is a leader in serving immigrants and refugees in Minnesota: providing immigration assistance, career development, case management, and English classes. Last year, we served 4000 people from 98 countries.

With this raffle, we’re hoping to raise $5000 for immigrants in Minnesota!

THE STORY BEHIND THESE TICKETS:

“I had the opportunity to purchase an additional set of tickets to Hamilton the Musical before they went on sale to the general public…I have a deep love for theater and the ability it has to convey empathy and humanity…the odd situation of having extra tickets that so many people were interested in made me think that they must be meant for something special…

“On my drive home from the theater as I was reflecting on the show…I was reminded of the Women United event I attended on International Women’s Day this year at the International Institute of Minnesota. I was deeply impressed with the work the Institute does for refugees and immigrants. And I knew where the tickets needed to go.”
