A valley firefighter says he is going to raffle off his Jackson Hole home for $100 a ticket to raise money for four charitable organizations.

Brad Bradley, a seasonal firefighter for Grand Teton National Park and a volunteer firefighter for Jackson Hole Fire/EMS, said Sunday he got the idea after he put his house on the market last summer and could not sell it. Then he read about how others were creatively moving their homes through eBay and other ways.

“I spent two to three months talking to accountants and attorneys to try and make it legit,” Bradley said. “I thought, ‘here’s a way to sell my house, help charitable organizations and get someone in a house in Jackson who might not be able to afford it. It’s a win-win-win situation.’”

News of the plan began to spread last week through word-of-mouth and what Bradley called a grassroots effort. He also has created a Web site announcing the plan.

The raffle is limited to 15,000 tickets, but a minimum of 10,000 tickets must be sold to pay off the winner’s taxes, Bradley’s mortgage and raffle overhead, Bradley said.

The house for raffle is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in the Cottonwood subdivision in southwest Jackson. The raffle will be Oct. 1.

Proceeds will benefit four charitable organizations, including local beneficiaries Jackson Hole Community Counseling Center and the Jackson Volunteer Firefighters Association. The two other charities, Philmont Staff Association and American Outdoor Academy, are based out of state.

Bradley said he chose the organizations because of his membership or connections with them.

The Web site Bradley created — www.howtorafflemyhouse.com — also contains links to property photos, more information about the charities, and terms and conditions of the raffle. Among the details is information on taxes.

Deb Sprague, executive director of the Counseling Center, said Friday that she had spoken with Bradley in April, about the time the center announced it faced budget cuts.

“He explained the project, and it seemed like he had done all the research,” she said. “He said, ‘I’ll get back to you.’ ”

Bradley told her he was planning on leaving the community and knew that selling the house might be a problem, Sprague said.

Sprague said she had not heard that Bradley was making the idea public yet.

Randy Saunders, executive director of Philmont Staff Association of New Mexico, said Bradley had approached him a month ago and mentioned his intentions.

“He wanted to know if we were OK with [listing the association among the charities], and we are,” Saunders said.

Bradley worked with Philmont in 1994, 1997, 2000 and 2003 in conservation and as a ranger.

Jackson Police Department detective Michelle Weber said Friday she called Bradley’s employer and afterward said she thought the raffle was legitimate.
