Massive news regarding PAPA 21! The Stern Pinball Family has generously donated a brand new Stern Pro pinball machine to the event! The machine will be raffled off live before the final four players begin their match in the main division of the PAPA 21 World Pinball Championship at Enterrium in Schaumburg, IL on the evening of Sunday, Sept 8th, 2024. The winner will get their choice of a NIB Stern Pro!
Everyone that purchases (or has purchased) a pass to PAPA 21 will receive one entry into the raffle. PAPA 21 passes are $150 and can be purchased HERE. You do not need to be present to win! If you are not planning to attend but would still like to support the charitable efforts of this event and receive a raffle ticket that has been added as a separate option on the ticket page. Please use this option if you are not planning to play in PAPA 21 so that we do not mistakenly add you as a player to the event.
Raffle tickets are the same price as the PAPA 21 pass, $150, and you can buy as many as you’d like. A reminder that 20% of all PAPA 21 proceeds will go towards the 988 Foundation for Suicide Awareness in honor of Lyman F. Sheats Jr., and 100% of any “raffle only” entries will go towards this charity.
