Family Fun Raffle Benefiting Ozaukee Family Services

A chance to win great prizes while supporting the community!

 

Again this year, Ozaukee Family Services will raise much-needed funds through the Family Fun Raffle. The winner of the grand prize – a family vacation worth $3,500 – can select their destination. The other prizes are a 42" plasma TV and a $500 Sendik’s gift certificate. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold. Tickets are $20 each or three for $50 and can be purchased at any Harris Bank location.

 

“Even if you don’t win a prize, our community wins through your support,” said Cheri Farnsworth, executive director of Ozaukee Family Services. All proceeds from the raffle contribute to the non profit agency’s mission: improving lives to help families succeed. Ozaukee Family Services helps children, adults, families, and seniors. All services are free or on a sliding fee scale – no one is ever turned away because of the inability to pay. Last year, Ozaukee Family Services touched the lives of over 6,500 people. The proceeds of the raffle will allow the agency to continue to provide:

• Senior citizens with rides to medical appointments and the grocery store

• Internet safety and “cyber bullying” education for students

• Home visit for teens and their babies

• Counseling for suicidal teens or families in crisis

• Rainbows support for children who are having a difficult time adjusting to a death or divorce in their family

• A caring volunteer or professional in the life of someone who has lost hope.

 

Raffle tickets will be on sale up until the time of the drawing or while supplies last. The drawing will be held on April 28 at noon, during the agency’s spring brunch featuring academic entertainer Barbara Rinella, at Shully’s Garden Tent in Thiensville. Winners need not be present to win. For raffle or brunch tickets, contact Ozaukee Family Services at 262.376.7774 or visit www.OzaukeeFamilyServices.org Special thanks to sponsors Harris Bank, Visual Image Photography and Robert W. Baird & Co.
