For the third year a raffle is taking place to raise funds locally for the St. Jude Children's Hospital. St. Jude Children's Hospital was founded in 1962 by Danny Thomas and has grown through the years offering care for children suffering from cancer. Today the charity receives over $2 billion in donations and doesn't charge for the care provided for patients treated at their hospitals.
As in the two previous years there are 750 raffle tickets available at $20 each. You may purchase them at Concord Locker, Wescon Lanes, Holly J. Burow tax accounting office, West Concord Municipal Liquor Store and from members of the West Concord Historical Society. The cash prizes include one $1,000 payout, six $500 prizes, six $250 prizes and five $100 prizes. The drawing will be held on February 6th at 7pm at the Wescon Lanes in West Concord. In the past all tickets have been sold out before the drawing date.
