About the Event

The NRSL Meat Raffle & Family Fundraiser is one of our favorite annual gatherings — a night filled with laughter, music, and community, all for a cause that matters.

All proceeds support the Nickolas Roy & Scott Laverdure Memorial Scholarship Fund, providing scholarships for student athletes and funding care packages for troops overseas.

Whether you join us in person or participate online, every ticket and donation helps continue Nick and Scott’s legacy of leadership, teamwork, and service.
