Every year the Washington DC Area Browns Backers Club hosts a raffle benefiting charities in Washington DC and Northeast Ohio. Just like in previous years, the proceeds will be split equally between the Toys For Tots chapters in Washington, D.C. and Cleveland. This way, we are helping the community we are a part of now, as well as helping the place we proudly call “home”—Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.
Thanks to our wonderful WDCABBC members, this year we raised a total of $6,400 for Toys for Tots!! That’s $3,200 each to Toys for Tots in DC and Cleveland. We appreciate everyone’s participation in the raffle. Not only do we get to watch our Browns try to fight through COVID to try and make the playoffs, we get to raise funds for a great cause. Browns fans are simply the best. GO BROWNS!!
