OGDENSBURG – United Helpers is preparing to host its Second Annual Fan’s Choice NFL Ticket Drawing.
Tickets for this year’s drawing will go on sale on Friday, July 18. This year the drawing will be even bigger and better than before with the winner receiving two tickets, valued at up to $500, to the regular season game of their choice. Given that the drawing takes place on NFL opening day, week one games are not eligible.
While last year’s drawing was limited to games played in the North East, this year the drawing is open to any game on the NFL’s regular season schedule.

“United Helpers has friends and supporters all over the country, so this year we decided to expand on the ‘Fan’s Choice’ model to really give the winner a choice. This also makes it easier for people who live in Florida, California or a different market to take part in this fundraiser,” said United Helpers Marketing Manager Benny Fairchild.
Ticket prices for the drawing remain the same as last year and will be $10 each. Bundles are also available with three tickets for $25 or seven tickets for $50.
Tickets will be available online through the “Giving tab” at unitedhelpers.org. Tickets can be purchased in person (cash only) at the United Helpers RiverLedge complex, 8101 State Hwy. 68 in Ogdensburg.
Only 1,000 tickets are available, with sales continuing until all tickets are sold or 11:59 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 2. The drawing will take place on Thursday, Sept. 4, the opening day of this year’s NFL season and be broadcast on the United Helpers Facebook page.
United Helpers will purchase tickets to the game, pending availability, of the winner’s choice. Tickets will be forwarded electronically to the winner. Transportation, meals and lodging are not included.
