Austin Humane Society Offers Chance to Win a 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid in Golden Ticket Raffle

How would you like to drive home in a brand-new SUV while helping animals in need? The Austin Humane Society is giving Central Texans the chance to do just that with its 2026 Golden Ticket Raffle!

The annual fundraiser is part of the Austin Humane Society’s 21st annual Rags to Wags gala, this year themed “Mission Pawsible,” taking place Saturday, October 24, at the Renaissance Austin Hotel.

This year’s grand prize is a brand-new 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Preferred AWD, generously donated by longtime Austin Humane Society partner Roger Beasley Mazda.

The SUV, valued at $37,230, comes in Polymetal Gray Metallic and features a panoramic roof, heated seats, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, rain-sensing wipers, a black leatherette interior, and a full suite of safety features.

Only 2,500 raffle tickets will be sold, with each ticket costing $65.

Even better, 100% of ticket sales will support the animals in the Austin Humane Society’s care. Proceeds help fund adoption and foster programs, spay and neuter services, disaster response, and other essential services for dogs and cats throughout the Austin area.

Tickets are available online through 5 p.m. on Thursday, October 22. Guests attending the Rags to Wags gala can also purchase tickets at the event on Saturday, October 24.

The winning ticket will be drawn live on stage during the gala, and you do not have to be present to win.

The raffle is open to Texas residents ages 18 and older. Tickets purchased by non-Texas residents will be considered donations to the Austin Humane Society.
