The 2016 Threadhead Online Raffle is now open. Entries will be accepted through April 16.

Each year since 2005, Threadheads have conducted a charity raffle to benefit various non-profit organizations and causes in New Orleans. The drawing for the 2016 raffle will be held on April 17 and winners will be notified by email.

This year’s prizes include a 5-night stay in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a guitar signed by the artists at Blues & BBQ Fest, VIP tickets to Bonnaroo, and much more.

The raffle was initiated as part of the give-back philosophy adopted by Threadheads in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. In the years since, tens of thousands of dollars have been raised and distributed.

The 2016 Raffle will benefit our very own Threadhead Cultural Foundation, New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic/New Orleans Musicians’ Assistance Fund, and local free youth music clinics.
