Win a Travel Getaway Raffle 2025

Purchase a $100 raffle ticket for your chance to win ONE of TWO getaways while supporting BIMA!

FIRST PRIZE

Costa Rica Getaway (valued at $8,600)

Nestled between the Caribbean and Pacific oceans, Costa Rica is home to the highest density of biodiversity of any country – containing as much as 6% of the world’s species, and 26% of its land mass is protected. Nestled between the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Costa Rica’s tropical climate and welcoming atmosphere have long made it a sought-after destination. Explore miles of tropical pink sand coastline, rainforest ziplines, bird and animal preserves, large mangrove forests and steep mountain slopes. Whether you seek adventure or relaxation or a combination of both, Costa Rica is the destination of choice!

The winner of this getaway also receives two round-trip Alaska Airlines tickets, no blackout dates, good anywhere Alaska flies.

SECOND PRIZE

Mazatlán, Mexico Getaway (valued at $1,400)

Escape for a 7-night stay for up to 4 at Torres Mazatlan Resort. Friendly, sunny Mazatlan welcomes you with all the comforts of a beautifully appointed one bedroom condo overlooking the pool, palm trees and beach. Explore 13 miles of sandy beaches lining the malecón (boardwalk) and don’t miss Centro Histórico, (old Mazatlán) with its 19th-century landmarks including the performance hall Teatro Ángela Peralta and the towering Immaculate Conception basilica. The modern district of Zona Dorada is known for nightlife, restaurants and hotels. Enjoy twice daily pool-side happy hours, onsite activity concierge serves, and glorious sunsets from the patio of your fully stocked ocean-view apartment. This is the perfect no-stress relaxation experience. (Airfare not included.)
