Introducing a brand new KBA tradition!
The 1st Annual KBA Meat Raffle is coming to Kenmore on Friday, October 9, 2026 at the Knights of Columbus on Kenmore Avenue. Doors open at 6:00 PM and the first pull kicks off at 7:00 PM sharp.
This is a fun, casual evening open to local businesses and the entire Kenmore community — a great excuse to get out, meet your neighbors, and maybe take home a winning round! Meat raffles are a beloved Western New York tradition and we’re bringing it home to Kenmore in true KBA style. Whether you come to win, to network, or just to have a great Friday night out, this is one new event you won’t want to miss.
Know Before You Go
🔞 This is a 21+ event. Grown-ups only for this one — bring your ID. (Looking for something for the kids? The Village of Kenmore Halloween Walk is Saturday, October 24 and it’s free.)
🍕 Bring your own food. Seriously — bring it. This is a WNY meat raffle, which means you pack a spread for your table and go all in. Wings, subs, a pizza on the way in, your aunt’s macaroni salad, a full charcuterie situation if that’s your personality. Tables that bring food have more fun. That’s not a rule, it’s just a fact. Order from a Kenmore spot on your way over and you’ve supported two local businesses in one night.
🍺 Cash bar, run by the house. The Knights of Columbus runs the bar, and bar proceeds go to them — not to the KBA. So please tip your bartender, and know that if you want your night to support the Village, that happens through your ticket, your table, your sponsored round, or your basket — not your bar tab. Cash is a good idea.
🥩 How the night works. Doors at 6:00. Get in, set up your table, get a drink, say hi to your neighbors. First pull is 7:00 sharp. Rounds run through the evening. Numbers get called. Somebody walks out with a tray of steaks. It might be you.
🅿️ Parking: Lot on-site
Grab your tickets, let’s make this first annual event one to remember!

Why Sponsor a Round?
Sponsoring a meat round is one of the most fun and affordable ways to get your business name in front of a room full of Kenmore community members and local business owners. Every round is announced with your business name — it’s recognition, goodwill, and a great night all in one.
FAQ
Is the KBA Meat Raffle 21+?
Yes. This is a 21-and-over event. For a family-friendly KBA event this fall, join us at the Village of Kenmore Halloween Walk on Saturday, October 24.
Can I bring food?
Yes — please do. Guests are encouraged to bring their own food for their table. Packing a spread is half the fun of a meat raffle. Grab something from a Kenmore restaurant on your way in.
Is there a bar?
Yes. The Knights of Columbus runs a cash bar for the evening. Bring cash and tip your bartender. Please note that bar proceeds go to the venue — support for the KBA comes through tickets, tables, round sponsorships, and basket donations.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
No. The venue runs the bar, so outside alcohol isn’t permitted. Food, absolutely — drinks, from the bar.
How can my business get involved?
Four ways: sponsor a meat round ($100), buy a table for your team ($120), donate a basket for the prize table, or volunteer for the night. Email kenmorebusinessassociation@gmail.com.
