The 2022 Ford Raptor Sweepstakes (the “Sweepstakes”) is administrated by and for the benefit of the Arizona Sportsmen for Wildlife Conservation (the “AZSFWC”), a non-profit 501-c-3 corporation, active and in good standing in the State of Arizona. The AZSFWC will receive one hundred percent (100%) of all donations from the Sweepstakes. Its mission is to help fund wildlife habitat enhancement initiatives and provide education on important issues related to wildlife conservation.
NOTICE REGARDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION: These rules contain terms that govern how claims between you and the AZSFWC relating to your participation or involvement with the Sweepstakes will be resolved. For example, section 11 below includes an arbitration agreement and waiver of a class action that requires you to submit all claims to arbitration (instead of going to court before a judge and jury) and limits your ability to bring claims only in an individual capacity (and not as part of or on behalf of any a class action or purported collective or representative claim or proceeding).
1. Donations: NO DONATION OR PAYMENT IS NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN THE SWEEPSTAKES. A donation or payment will not increase your odds of winning. See section 7 below for additional information.
2. Affiliations: This sweepstakes is not sponsored or endorsed by, or associated in any way with, the Ford Motor Company or its retailers or affiliates. All third-party names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. AZSFWC recognizes the many contributions of Sanderson Ford which supports the mission, goals, and objectives of AZSFWC. Their efforts are sincerely appreciated by AZSFWC and its member organizations. This support allows AZSFWC to help conserve wildlife, educate the public and protects our long held outdoor traditions!
3. Prize and Winners: There will be one winner of the Sweepstakes, and that winner will receive the single prize of a new model year 2022 *2023 Raptor manufactured by, and purchased from, the Ford Motor Company (the “Prize”) with an approximate retail value of $60,000 *$73,000. As an alternative to the Raptor, the winner may choose as the Prize a single payment of $25,000. In addition, Sanderson Ford has the discretion to allow the winner to select a different vehicle instead of the Raptor, but the cost of that vehicle may not exceed AZSFWC’s total cost for the Raptor, unless the winner agrees to pay the full additional amount. Odds of winning will depend on the number of entries received. The Prize is awarded as is, without any representations or warranties.
*November 22, 2022 Update: Due to manufacturer and supply chain issues, the vehicle model year and value have changed. Delivery will be delayed into 2023 as well.
4. Dates for Entry and Drawing: Sweepstake’s entries will be accepted beginning 8 am (Arizona) on April 1, 2022, and ending at 9 pm (Arizona) on December 21, 2022.

However, each person may enter no more than six (6) times regardless of the manner of submission. All entries in excess of this limit will be deemed void.

If the winner chooses the vehicle option, the winner is responsible for claiming it at Sanderson Ford in Glendale, Arizona. The vehicle will not be shipped to any other location unless the winner makes those arrangements and pays all associated fees. If the winner fails to claim the Prize or take delivery during the allotted time or if the winner is disqualified, AZSFWC may determine that the first alternate (or the second alternate if necessary and in succession) is the winner and give them notice of the Prize. The winner may be required to give identification, demonstrate proof of entry and/or provide information for any required tax reporting before claiming the Prize.
9. Taxes: Donations may be eligible for a tax credit; consult your tax expert. Keep your emailed receipt as proof of donation.
