Behind Biloxi Blue hosts raffle to benefit Biloxi Police Department

Behind Biloxi Blue announced on its Facebook page that it will hold its first fundraiser of 2026, a public raffle open to anyone who wishes to purchase tickets.

Tickets cost $5 each, the post said, and may be bought by sending payment through the Cash App or Venmo accounts listed on the group’s flyer. Buyers are asked to include their full name and phone number in the payment notes so organizers can contact the winner.

The prize is a Big Play Entertainment Center certificate valued at $325, the post said, which the group noted is well-timed with summer and school break approaching.

Proceeds will benefit Behind Biloxi Blue and help the organization continue its mission of supporting the Biloxi Police Department and carrying out community initiatives, the post said. The group encouraged supporters to share the fundraiser and to contact them with questions. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
