Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, México – The International Friendship Club is off to a strong start with its Día de la Amistad 50/50 charity raffle, reaching $90,000 pesos toward its $251,000+ peso goal in just the first two weeks of ticket sales.
The annual 50/50 raffle is one of the club’s most important fundraisers, second only to its ever-popular Vallarta Home Tours. It plays a key role in supporting the IFC’s philanthropic efforts, which benefit a wide range of local charities and community programs.
This fundraiser gives participants the opportunity to support a long-standing tradition of giving while also competing for meaningful cash prizes. Half of all proceeds will go directly to charitable initiatives supported by the IFC, while the remaining half will be awarded to three raffle winners.
The first-place winner will receive 25% of total ticket sales, with second and third prizes set at 15% and 10%, respectively. Ticket sales will close on Saturday, February 14, 2026. Winners will be announced on Sunday, February 15, during the IFC’s Friendship Festival, where attendees can meet many of the charitable organizations supported by the club. Winners do not need to be present to claim their prizes.
Tickets are now available online. To keep the raffle accessible, ticket prices remain unchanged from previous years. Individual tickets are available for $500 pesos, with discounted packages offering five tickets for $2,000 pesos or 13 tickets for $4,000 pesos.
With strong early momentum, the IFC is encouraging the community to help reach or exceed the $251,000 peso goal. Each ticket purchased directly supports essential programs provided by local charities that rely on IFC funding to continue their work.
Those interested in learning more about the organizations benefiting from the raffle can find additional details on the International Friendship Club’s website.
