For $50, a 2009 Nissan Rogue is a steal.
That’s all a raffle ticket costs for a chance to win the new sporty car donated by Cleve White Nissan. And the proceeds are for a good cause — the Boys and Girls Club of Bulloch County.
The catch is — there are 1,000 tickets, and the raffle won’t be held until all those tickets are sold, said Venus White, volunteer Boys and Girls Club board member and wife of Cleve White.
The board of directors approached the Whites about donating the Rogue for the raffle. The proceeds after all tickets are sold — $50,000 — will go a long way toward funding the club’s activities and needs.
The club offers programs that teach youth about character and leadership, education and careers, technology, health and life skills, sports and fitness and the arts, according to Web site www.bgcbulloch.org.
The club has a proven track record of helping students get better grades in school and teaching them alternatives to negative aspects of life such as drugs and crime.
The Boys and Girls Club of Bulloch was formed in 2001 by a small group of leaders in the community who envisioned a youth-oriented program and began planning in 1998. Today more than 50 children throughout the county are involved in the club, according to the Web site.
In order to continue offering the educational and social programs, as well as grow them to provide for more children, fund raisers such as the car raffle are necessary.
Ms. White said tickets are available from any board member, and encouraged citizens to try for a chance to win the car as well as help the Boys and Girls Club.
“We won’t raffle off the car until we sell all the tickets,” she said.
In addition to herself, Boys and Girls Club board members include: Mike Backus, John Robinson, Josh Aubrey, David and Fayebeth Ball, Hoke Brunson, Bryan Burke, Chris Cliett, Karen David, and Alice Hall.
Also, Edwin Hill, J. R. Holloway, Patrick Hopkins, Joe Mathews, Jimmy Mooney, Kathryn Olliff, Cindy Kirkland, Joel Martin, Mary Reddick, Darin Van Tassell, and Lynda Yawn.
