win a gift basket
Purchase raffle tickets ($1 per ticket, $10 for 11, or $20 for 22) for your chance to win any of our amazing gift baskets with fun themes from spa day to family game night to lucky lottery tickets!
Online ticket sales will be announced in January, and tickets may be purchased in person (cash only) before and after school the last two weeks of February.
Winners will be drawn during our Black Excellence event. We hope to see your family there! If your name is drawn and you are not present, we will contact you after the event.
The raffle basket fundraiser, along with a Chili Cook Off before the Winter Concert (dinner begins at 5:15 pm), supports our capstone 5th grade overnight trip to Atlanta. Proceeds will also be shared with grade levels K-4, covering expenses to ensure all Jones students can attend field trips throughout the year, regardless of their ability to pay.
Together at jones
At Ira B. Jones, community support powers the programs that help our students thrive. Our Family–Teacher Organization (FTO) works year-round to fund classroom resources, tutoring, arts and cultural programming, field trip scholarships, and support for families and teachers.
We host several opportunities to engage with and support IBJ each year that make this possible, including our annual Jones Heroes Campaign, Basket Raffle, Donut 8K & Munchkin Miler, Spring Fling, spirit wear sales, and family engagement nights.
We also welcome year-round donations from families, friends, and community members. If you’d like to contribute at any time, please email Cindy Smith, VP Fundraising, at irabjonesfundraising@gmail.com.
Whether you donate, volunteer, or simply share about our events with your friends and family, every contribution helps strengthen our school community. Thank you for supporting Ira B. Jones!
