Contests

Fun Contests for Everyone

At the Shaffer Foundation, we believe giving back should also bring people together in joy. That’s why we host fun-filled contests that are open to all ages and designed to spark community spirit. Whether it’s raffles, friendly competitions, or creative challenges, our contests create opportunities for everyone to participate, win prizes, and celebrate while supporting Delaware’s first responders.

Every contest entry helps fund events and resources for the heroes who protect us, making each moment of fun both meaningful and impactful. Join in the excitement—you’ll enjoy the experience while making a difference!
