Rotary Club of Greenville launches Kringle Holiday Countdown raffle calendar
August 20, 2026
Sponsors and prize donors have until Aug. 31 to sign on for the club’s newest fundraiser
The Rotary Club of Greenville is launching KRINGLE Holiday Countdown, a 12-day raffle calendar fundraiser that turns the December holiday countdown into a daily prize drawing and a new holiday tradition for the Upstate.
Every calendar carries a unique raffle number and 12 numbered windows. Starting in December, calendar holders open one window a day to reveal that day’s prize, and winning numbers are posted each morning at kringleholidaycountdown.org. Proceeds support the club’s year-round service programs across Greenville.
The club is asking local businesses, organizations,, and individuals to help build the campaign as financial sponsors or prize donors. Prizes can include gift cards, merchandise, services, dining experiences, entertainment, hotel stays and more. Community Partners are recognized based on the value of their sponsorship or donated prize, with benefits that may include placement on the calendar itself, multiple locations on the campaign website including a full-color rotating Community Partner showcase on the home page and the dedicated Community Partner page and social media.
“KRINGLE Holiday Countdown gives local businesses and residents a cheerful way to celebrate the season while helping Rotary make a real difference across Greenville,” said Jeremy Hart, president of the Rotary Club of Greenville. “Every sponsorship, every donated prize and every calendar sold moves that work forward.”
The deadline to commit as a sponsor or prize donor is Aug. 31, 2026. Calendars go on sale Oct. 1 through the campaign website and at select community sales locations.
Businesses and individuals can review participation levels and complete registration forms at kringleholidaycountdown.org.
