Our appreciation goes out to everyone who purchased tickets, the sponsoring organizations, and the many volunteers who contributed their time and talent to make this event a success. Special thanks to Swarovski Optics and James Guide Service for their generous donations.

A big game raffle is held each year to raise money for wildlife conservation efforts, and the entire state of Arizona is the true winner of this event. Every dollar raised from ticket sales for each of the species is returned to the Arizona Game and Fish Department and managed by the Arizona Habitat Partnership Committee (AHPC) for the benefit of that particular species. The Arizona Big Game Super Raffle is a nonprofit entity with a volunteer board of directors made up of representatives from sponsoring organizations.
