Experimental Aircraft Association, Inc (“EAA”) is a non-profit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin with a primary focus on providing programs and activities to engage and educate aviation enthusiasts. The 2008 Young Eagles Raffle (“Raffle”) is conducted by EAA for the purpose of generating funds to support the youth education outreach activities of EAA, including the Young Eagles program.

1. Eligibility. Each entrant, by purchasing a Certificate and entering the Raffle, agrees to abide by these rules, as well as all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and further agrees to release the EAA and its directors, officers, divisions, associates, agents, employees, and volunteers from any and all liability with respect to all aspects of the Raffle, including, but not limited to, the selection process. The Raffle is open to any eligible person residing in or visiting Wisconsin unless prohibited by law. Employees of EAA and their immediate family members residing in the same household are not eligible to participate in the Raffle. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older to be eligible to participate in the Raffle.

2. Certificate Purchases. The cost to purchase a single entry (“Certificate”) for the Raffle is $100.00 (U.S. Funds only) and is not tax deductible. Any entrant may purchase more than one Certificate. Certificates are available for sale at several locations during the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh convention July 28, 2008 through August 3, 2008 and through many EAA volunteers selling Certificates on their own and at events throughout northeastern Wisconsin. Certificate payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, cash, check, or money order. If a bank, for any reason, dishonors an entrant’s payment, the Certificate(s) purchased with such payment will be declared invalid unless full and satisfactory payment is made prior to the Raffle drawing. Any dishonored credit card will be considered an invalid entry and EAA will endeavor to notify the entrant by mail, email, or phone. Participants can enter the Raffle by purchasing a Certificate at the EAA AirVenture Museum between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. until August 2, 2008. Completed entry Certificate forms must be in possession of EAA by 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 3, 2008, or before 1,500 valid Certificates are sold, whichever comes first, to be eligible for the drawing. All Certificate forms will be handled and recorded on a first come, first served basis. Any Certificate forms and payments (including payments previously dishonored) received after closure of the Raffle will be returned to the entrant.

3. Prize. The Raffle prizes are: First, a 2009 Ford Mustang Bullitt; Second, $5,000 Cash; and Third, an EAA Lifetime Membership. There will also be six “early bird” drawings of $1,000 conducted daily Monday, July 28, 2008 through Saturday, August 2, 2008. Winner understands that the vehicle will have promotional miles. The Mustang winner must claim the automobile and take title by September 30, 2008. Winner is responsible for all costs associated with title, registration, licensing, delivery, and other applicable fees associated with the prize, as well as for all local, state, and federal taxes, including, but not limited to, all luxury, special, and income taxes that may be applicable. Winner will be required to provide EAA with a valid social security number and must complete all IRS and similar forms requested by EAA prior to delivery of the prize.
