PINEWOOD, S.C. — The South Carolina Waterfowl Association (SCWA) has opened ticket sales for the 2025 Holiday Mega Conservation Education Raffle (MCER), inviting supporters to take part in a seasonal tradition that pairs meaningful giving with the chance to win high-value outdoor prizes. The raffle launched December 1 and runs through December 15.
This year’s Holiday MCER is supported by Palmetto State Armory (PSA), whose continued assistance helps expand SCWA’s reach during the peak holiday and hunting-season period.
Holiday MCER tickets are available at www.MegaConservationEducationRaffle.org and through the Palmetto State Armory website. All tickets purchased through either site feed into the same drawing. Pricing is set at $20 each for 1–2 tickets, $17 each for 3–9 tickets and $10 for 10 or more.
The prize lineup includes multiple $5,000 PSA gift cards paired with PSA firearm packages. A full list of raffle prizes is available at www.MegaConservationEducationRaffle.org.
Sales close Monday, December 15, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PST. The drawing will take place on Wednesday, December 17, 2025. SCWA will contact the first 60 potential winners by phone or email within five days of the drawing using the contact information provided at purchase to claim their prizes and provide the necessary identification information. A list of Potential Winners will be posted on the raffle website on December 17.
Proceeds from the raffle support the continued expansion of the Nation’s largest Wildlife Education Center operated by SCWA. Funds will help us to achieve our goal of annually hosting 2,400 Camp Woodie summer campers, 15,000 school-year Camp Leopold students, 20 Wildlife Management Apprentices and more than 15,000 participants in Outdoor Heritage events hosted at the SCWA Wildlife Education Center.
“Each ticket purchased helps us continue growing hands-on conservation education programs for youth across South Carolina,” said SCWA CEO David Wielicki. “The Holiday MCER gives supporters a way to participate in the season of giving while investing in future natural resource stewards.”
