A Story About the DeMatha SGA — And Why Your Raffle Ticket Matters

If you’ve ever walked through the halls of DeMatha on a day when the whole school just felt alive — when students were laughing together, running to the next Spirit Week activity, or lining up early for free hot chocolate in December — then you’ve already experienced the work of the Student Government Association.

But here’s the part most people don’t see.

Behind every moment of school pride and brotherhood, there’s a group of students staying late after meetings, planning every detail, and asking one simple question: “How do we make this year better for everyone?”

It’s the SGA that turns an ordinary week in October into Homecoming Spirit Week, a time when freshmen to seniors join in the fun, cheer for their houses, and reconnect with what makes DeMatha special.
It’s the SGA that works side-by-side with Campus Ministry to push the Thanksgiving Canned Food Drive over the finish line each year — loading boxes, organizing donations, and reminding the community that serving others is at the heart of the DeMatha mission.
It’s the SGA that dreams up smaller but unforgettable moments: a pie-eating contest in the courtyard, candy canes and hot chocolate passed out on a cold December morning, and countless events designed to help students laugh, relax, and build bonds that last long after graduation.

And here’s where you come in.

When you buy a raffle ticket, you’re not just entering to win a prize — you’re investing in all those moments that bring joy, connection, and brotherhood to the school. Each ticket helps the SGA continue creating events that make students feel proud to be Stags. It supports their fundraisers, their service projects, and the countless little ideas that turn into memories for hundreds of young men.

Every ticket strengthens the DeMatha community.
Every ticket supports student leadership.
Every ticket helps bring the Brotherhood to life.

So if you believe in what the SGA does — if you’ve ever smiled during Spirit Week, enjoyed a school event, or watched students unite for a cause — consider buying a raffle ticket today.

Your support makes all the difference.
