The National Court Reporters Foundation (NCRF) raffles are back, offering a great way to support a good cause and have a little fun at the same time. This year, in conjunction with the 2026 NCRA Conference & Expo in Bellevue this July, the Foundation is raffling off a Pacific Northwest-inspired basket of tech and treats, a Stenograph NexGen writer, and an MZ Wallace Crossbody purse. Winners do not need to be present to win.
Proceeds from all three raffles go to support NCRF programs, which are designed to benefit members of the court reporting, captioning, and legal videography communities. The Foundation also supports students and new professionals through its many scholarships and grants.
Cheers to Tech and Treats basket
This year’s Cheers to Tech and Treats fundraiser offers a curated collection of premium wines, innovative technology, and everyday favorites. The winner will enjoy a Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 50-year anniversary bottle and Sea Smoke Chardonnay, paired perfectly with two 20 oz. NCRF Angel cups. For work and creativity, the package includes a reMarkable tablet bundle — complete with tablet, folio/case, and eraser pen. Rounding out the prize are two $50 Starbucks gift cards. ($950+ value)

The MZ Wallace Crossbody bag is crafted with glossy diamond-quilted nylon and finished with signature hardware. The bag includes a magnetic flap closure, interior zip compartment, and multiple pockets for organization. Adjustable strap options allow for both shoulder and crossbody wear.
