Every ticket purchased for our Dine Out 4 Kids Raffle does more than enter you into a chance to win gift cards to some of Central New York's favorite local restaurants-it fuels the mission of the McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center.

For just $25, you're not only giving yourself (or someone you love!) the chance to enjoy incredible meals, you're giving hope, healing, and support to children and families right here in our community.

Why Your Donation Matters
When you buy a raffle ticket, you become part of the work we do every single day:

  • Providing critical services to children and families affected by abuse
  • Offering compassionate support to victims of human trafficking
  • Delivering prevention education that reaches over 25,000 local children each year
  • Ensuring safety, comfort, and care during some of the hardest moments of a child's life

Your donation helps us fund forensic interviews, medical exams, advocacy services, therapy, community outreach, and so much more. These are the core initiatives that allow children to feel safe, to be heard, and to begin healing.

Your $25 Goes Further Than You Think
A $25 raffle ticket may win you dinner-but it will always help the Center win.

Even if your ticket isn't drawn, your generosity directly strengthens our mission. It helps a child walk into a safe, welcoming space instead of navigating trauma alone. It helps families access the support they desperately need. It allows our team to continue fighting for the most vulnerable members of our community.

Be Part of the Impact
When you participate in Dine Out 4 Kids, you're doing something simple-eating local and supporting local restaurants-but your contribution creates lasting change.

  • You could win an amazing meal.
  • A child receives life-changing support either way.

Thank you for choosing to be part of the solution-and for helping ensure that every child in Onondaga County has a safe place to turn.
