MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Men's Basketball Final Four Raffle gets underway Thursday night during the annual Senior Salute.

The raffle grand-prize winner will receive a trip for two to the 2013 Final Four in Atlanta, complete with airfare, hotel for four nights and lower-level game tickets for both the semifinals and finals.

Tickets will go on sale at Thursday's event and remain on sale through the Milwaukee Basketball Golf Classic in mid-July. After Thursday, raffle tickets can be purchased in person at the UWM Ticket Office or by phone at 414-229-5886. Tickets are $25 apiece or three for $50.

Other prizes include a Kmyco Moped Scooter, a Milwaukee Admirals suite package, two UWM courtside season tickets and a Panther apparel package.

The winners will be drawn at the golf outing July 16, and the winners need not be present to win.

Thursday's fifth-annual Senior Salute runs from 6-8 p.m. at Joey Buona's, located at 500 N. Water Street in downtown Milwaukee. UWM will honor its three seniors while celebrating a 20-win season and a second-straight postseason berth.
