The provided source material documents two distinct types of consumer offers involving "Raptors": a ticket-based promotional event for a Toronto Raptors basketball game and a crowdfunding campaign for raptor-themed merchandise. Neither source material contains information regarding free samples, no-cost product trials, mail-in sample programs, or promotional offers in the categories of beauty, baby care, pet food, health, food & beverage, or household goods. The available data focuses exclusively on event access and merchandise purchasing opportunities.
NBA Ticket Promotions and Event Giveaways
A promotional offer is available through the "NYC For Free" community for a specific NBA game involving the Toronto Raptors. This offer provides access to a game at the Barclays Center with specific exclusives tied to the ticket purchase.
Event Details and Ticket Pricing The promotion is for a Brooklyn Nets game against the Toronto Raptors scheduled for Tuesday, November 11. Tickets are available for $30.00 plus a $4.68 fee per ticket. The game serves as the launch of the NBA’s City Edition Remix, featuring the Brooklyn Nets' fan-favorite Brooklyn Camo City Edition uniform inspired by The Notorious B.I.G. The event will also feature a custom Biggie-themed court and the first "Biggie Night," which includes programming developed with the Estate of The Notorious B.I.G. This programming includes special halftime performances (to be announced) and a Biggie bobblehead giveaway for the first 5,000 kids.
Exclusive Purchase Incentives Individuals who purchase tickets through the specific "NYC For Free" link are eligible for exclusive items not available through standard channels.
- Custom Scarf: The first 500 people to purchase tickets via the link will receive a custom Nets x NYC For Free Biggie-inspired scarf. The source material emphasizes that this item is designed specifically for the promotion and is not available in stores or at the arena.
- Signed Merchandise Giveaways: The promotion includes "exclusive NYC for FREE giveaways" consisting of a signed jersey and a signed ball.
- Courtside Warmup Passes: There are 6 courtside warmup passes to be given out as part of this promotion.
Eligibility and Restrictions Access to the exclusive scarf is strictly limited to the first 500 ticket purchasers through the designated link. The general ticket offer is available to the NYC For Free community. The source material does not specify eligibility requirements for the signed merchandise or courtside passes, other than being part of the NYC For Free community or utilizing the specific ticket link.
Raptor-Themed Merchandise and Plush Offerings
Source material regarding "raptor" items pertains to a merchandise campaign by "NRW Artz," specifically a "Galaxy Raptor Maw I.T.A. Bag Plush" project hosted on BackerKit. This is a crowdfunding campaign for merchandise, not a free sample program.
Product Details The campaign features a "Galaxy Raptor" design available as both a bag and a plush toy. * Plush Toy: The plush is described as 6 inches in size and weighted to provide calming effects. * I.T.A. Bag: The bag is designed to be worn in multiple styles, including leg, hip, shoulder, and back. * Pins: The campaign offers enamel pins, including "Megas" size pins (100mm or 4 inches) and standard size pins (45mm or almost 2 inches). All pins are black nickel plated with two pin posts and rubber backings.
Promotional Offers within the Campaign While the primary purpose of the BackerKit campaign is to fund production, there are specific incentives for backers. * Cross-Collab Incentive: The creators have joined "Pintopia 2025" and are cross-collaborating with "Fool's Moon Entertainment, Inc." Backers who support both projects with a physical reward will receive a limited free pin from each creator. * Naming Contest: The source material mentions an opportunity for the community to help name the raptor character.
Crowdfunding Context The project is part of a larger event called "Pintopia 2025," which runs from January 23 to February 13. This event involves over 175 creators launching pin or plushie projects on BackerKit. The merchandise is available via pledges on BackerKit, which is a platform for funding creative projects, distinct from free sample distribution channels.

While not directly related to consumer product freebies, a separate source provides a list of free educational resources related to birds of prey. These resources are intended for school projects and general learning.
- Research Worksheets: Free Wildlife Research Project worksheets are available for printing.
- Identification and Information: Websites such as the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s All About Birds, the National Audubon Society, the National Wildlife Federation, and the USGS Patuxent Bird Identification InfoCenter are listed as reliable sources for species information and range maps.
