NSQG runs a raffle whose net proceeds benefit a not-for-profit charitable organization selected yearly by Guild members.
The grand prize is a bed-sized quilt constructed by Guild members along with other possible prizes.
The drawing is normally held after the show at our May guild meeting.
You do not need to be present to win.
Tickets can be purchased below or from NSQG members or at our Quilt Show or from the Charitable Activites coordinator.

2023 Charity - Sparrow's Nest
Sparrow’s Nest is a 501(c)3 charity whose mission is to cook and deliver homemade meals to families facing a cancer diagnosis in Dutchess, Putnam and parts of Orange, Ulster and Northern Westchester counties.
Founded in 2012, the charity feeds an average of 300 people each week; more than 2,000 individuals since our inception.
In order to qualify for our services, individuals must:
- live within a 35 mile radius of our Wappingers Falls kitchen.
- have children 18 or under living in the home and,
- be actively receiving chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery as a result of a cancer diagnosis.
Qualified individuals are never turned away and, as word of our mission spreads, the need for our services continues to expand.
