Raise the Lodge is the official raffle arm of America’s Freedom Lodge (AFL). For nearly two decades, AFL has welcomed veterans from across the United States to the fields, woods, and waters of Ohio. Through our raffles, we raise the funds needed to build a permanent Sportsman’s Lodge — a place where those who have served can come together to hunt, fish, heal, and find fellowship. Every ticket purchased brings us one step closer to making that dream a reality.
Our vision is to build and sustain a permanent lodge dedicated to America’s veterans. For over 18 years, AFL has relied on borrowed land and temporary spaces to host hunts and fishing trips. A permanent lodge will give us the ability to expand our reach, serve more veterans, and create a lasting home for camaraderie, healing, and the great outdoors. With the support of our community, we aim to raise the roof on a Sportsman’s Lodge that will stand for generations to come.
Each year, America’s Freedom Lodge hosts a series of unforgettable outdoor experiences for veterans:
These events bring veterans together from across the nation, offering not just outdoor adventure but lifelong brotherhood.
We are veterans. We are first responders. We are your neighbors and your community. We are America’s Freedom Lodge — building hope, honor, and a brighter future for those who served.
