The party begins at 6. p.m. at The Center at Fairfield Glade. A maximum of 500 tickets will be sold for this annual event at $50 each.
The top three prizes will be cash prizes of $6,000, $2,000 and $1,000. In addition, there will be a wide variety of prizes donated by local and national businesses.
Proceeds from the Reverse Raffle fund critical Lions community programs, including:
• Hearing and vision screening for children at area schools
• Student of the Month Scholarship Program
• Eyeglasses and hearing aid assistance
• Assistance with the Child Safety Program
• Supplies for Peavine Care Center and Crab Orchard Care Center
In addition, proceeds from the Reverse Raffle are donated to several community nonprofit organizations including Kids On The Rise, Fairfield Glade Resident Services, House of Hope, Avalon Center and the United Fund.
