Q. Why is their a PHFA Raffle?
PHFA has offered the lowest Football & Cheerleading registration fees in the area for many years and strives to continue doing so. It has become more and more difficult to keep the registration fees as is with the rising costs to field a football player & cheerleader. PHFA uses the highest quality in equipment and uniforms. We continue to add training equipment and improve playing and practice facilities. In addition to the registration fees, there is a $100.00 per family raffle fundraiser due. You will receive a $100.00 book of raffle tickets to sell and keep the funds recouping your raffle fees. If you do not wish to sell your raffle tickets, turn them in for a chance to win a prize since you will have paid for the book.
