The Los Banos Veterans Parade Committee is excited to announce the kickoff of its annual fundraiser. Over the past several years, this fundraiser was known as the “Grocery Grab” raffle with the Grand Prize being a $500 gift card for Savement. However, for the first time ever, an exciting change has occurred, and we know you will be thrilled at this year’s Grand Prize of $500 cash!

The 2025 Los Banos Veterans Parade Fundraiser raffle has other wonderful prizes, and we would like to say a public ‘Thank You’ to the Los Banos businesses listed below for their donations.

The second place winner will receive a $300 Gift Certificate to Espana’s Southwest Bar and Grill. Third place will get a $250 Gift Certificate to Biggins Texas BBQ. In fourth place, the winner will receive a $150 Gift Certificate to Little Diamond Pizza at the Pacheco location.

Tickets are $5 each or five tickets for $20.

The drawing date will be July 8, and winners will be contacted. The Los Banos Veterans will have a booth at the Chamber of Commerce’s Spring Street Fair on April 19 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Be sure to stop by and buy your raffle tickets.
