The Dallas-Wilcox Bama Club is offering Crimson Tide fans the chance to win season tickets to all of Alabama’s home football games for only $20.

The Bama Club is in the midst of its annual Alabama football ticket raffle, which raises money for the club’s 10 scholarships. Only 300 tickets will be sold and Ronnie Leet, president of the club, said there are still many available.

The drawing will be held Sept. 1 and will be broadcast live on Dixie 100.1 FM.

“Normally, we sell out of all 300, which is all we print, but right now we have quite a few tickets left,” Leet said. “If somebody wants to buy tickets, this is a great time to increase their percentage chances to win.”

Alabama’s home schedule includes Auburn, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Kentucky and non-conference games against Kent State, Western Kentucky and Chattanooga.

Alabama opens the season as the No. 1 team in both the Associated Press Poll and Coaches Poll and the defending national champions are one of the favorites to win the title again this year.

The winner of the raffle won’t just win tickets though. To go along with two tickets to every Alabama home game, they’ll also get two meals at the School of Commerce and a reserved parking pass.

The deadline for buying tickets is Aug. 31.

“This is our only fundraising event for raising money for our scholarship fund,” Leet said. “It’s important because it helps us in providing money for Dallas and Wilcox students going to the university during their freshman year.

To buy tickets contact Buddy Perkins, James McNeill, Anne Williamson, Beau Boyd, Mark Woodson, Elise Blackwell, William Perkins or call Leet at 334-875-2672.
