The VFW Foundation Goes Full Throttle with Pointstreak 5050 during VFW 200 Race Weekend at MIS

On August 17th, the VFW Foundation introduced an exciting new addition to their VFW 200 race weekend at Michigan International Speedway, as they will debut the new Pointstreak 5050 raffling platform.  The 50/50 Charity Raffle gives fans the chance to win a daily cash prize in the amount equal to half of the collected proceeds.

Amy Umlor, representing the VFW Foundation, said, "We are very excited to introduce the Pointstreak 5050 automated raffling system to race fans. The success of the system for non-profits is unquestionable and thanks to the tremendous support of race fans, the VFW Foundation anticipates being able to give back even more than they have in the past and we could not be happier or more proud."

Activation of Pointstreak 5050 services was prompted by the popularity of the Pointstreak 5050 system and its ability to help non-profit organizations and their fundraising efforts. Organizations utilizing the system to date have generated millions of dollars helping those in need.  

Chris Meyer of Pointstreak 5050 was equally proud to be a part of this great program. "Pointstreak 5050 is very excited to be a part of the VFW 200 weekend at MIS. We cannot be more pleased about our platform impacting the lives of many in the Michigan community and the military support programs of the VFW Foundation.”

Raffle tickets will be sold all weekend in the Fan Plaza in increments of 3 for $5, 10 for $10, or 40 for $20. Further information, including winning numbers and daily prizes, can be found at www.hmsworldwide.com.
