About
All proceeds from this raffle helps our scrappy non-profit raise funds to fight dirty air. Our goal is to create a world where electric transportation is affordable and available to everyone. The year 2025 was the 7th annual electric car raffle sponsored by the Chesapeake Climate Action Network Action Fund (CCAN Action Fund).
The mission of CCAN Action Fund is to create a world where electric cars, wind farms, and rooftop solar power are the norm in society. If you win, you can kiss high gas prices goodbye today while helping us build a pollution-free world tomorrow.
Meet Our Team
Proceeds from the raffle fund the work of Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) Action Fund.
The mission of the CCAN Action Fund is to effect change in public policy at local, state and national levels to directly address the threat of global warming. Through voter education, lobbying and participation in the electoral process, we seek to move our country into a leadership position on the most urgent issue of our time.
Did you know that cars, trucks, and other forms of transportation account for nearly 30 percent of America’s air pollution? We’re raising awareness of better transportation options by raffling two electric vehicles. The proceeds from the raffle will be used to push for cleaner transportation policies at the state and federal levels. Learn more about CCAN Action Fund (EIN 01 – 0879928).
CCAN Action Fund’s nearly decade-long track record makes us one of the most well-respected groups working on clean energy.
Past Winners
2024 1st Place Raffle Winner
Glen Parker, FL
Anyone can win! Last year’s winners were Glen Parker of Florida, who won a Rivian R1T, and Patricia Hersey of Massachusetts, who won the Ioniq 5. Glen told us driving electric is “so much fun. The acceleration, the smoothness, the quiet, the convenience of charging at home and not worrying about fuel. It’s everything I thought driving electric would be.” He likes “doing truck things and hanging out with truck people.” But he mostly joined “to help the cause.”
Thanks to Glen and other ticket buyers, CCAN Action Fund is able to do great work year round. This year already, we’ve passed policies bringing more renewable energy to Maryland, while working in Virginia to build out green space and bikeable communities. We’re also protecting ratepayers in Washington, DC and helping them lower their bills while cleaning up pollution. And federally, we’re pressuring Congress to unleash the clean energy revolution with historic transmission investments.

Learn more about our work.
What Happens if Tariffs Increase Costs?
The Prize Values above are based on the base price of each make of vehicle at the launch of the raffle. For the 1st Prize options and the Ioniq 5, the values allow for customization; the Volkswagen ID. Buzz and the Chevrolet Equinox prizes do not allow for customization. If tariffs or other economic forces raise the base price of the make of vehicle to exceed the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Prize Values (collectively, “Prize Value”), CCAN Action Fund will make up the difference to cover the base price cost of the vehicle. This may limit customization and model types.
How Did CCAN Action Fund Choose These Prizes?
We polled our past raffle participants to learn what type of electric vehicle they would want to win! Our prize options are based on this data.
