CITE Charity Raffle

Each year CITE hosts a raffle to raise money for a local charity that impacts students or education and CITE matches the money raised from raffle ticket sales. Last year we raised approximately $11,000 in ticket sales and with CITE’s contribution, we were able to donate $22,000 to the Sacramento Kindness Campaign. The Sacramento City Unified School District's Homeless Education Services Program partners with the Sacramento Kindness Campaign to provide support to over 2,000 students experiencing homelessness in Sacramento.

This year we are excited to announce that our annual raffle's proceeds will go to the wonderful charity, Neutral Ground.

Neutral Ground is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities in Orange County by addressing the root causes of gang violence, youth delinquency, and social inequities. Grounded in restorative practices and evidence-based interventions, they offer comprehensive support to youth, families, and communities impacted by violence, poverty, and systemic barriers.

Since 1990, Neutral Ground has worked to create pathways for healing, opportunity, and long-term stability — serving the gang-impacted areas of Santa Ana, Anaheim, and Tustin, helping individuals transition from survival to self-sufficiency.
