Raffle to help raise money for scholarships

The Brick Township Chamber of Commerce Educational Foundation is sponsoring its Dream Dollars Raffle, an opportunity for individuals to make their own dreams come true as well as those of local students.

The raffle is limited to 200 tickets, which are $100 each, and the grand prize is $10,000 based on the sale of all the tickets. Shares of a ticket may be purchased as well as a full raffle ticket.

The drawing for the winner will be held at 6:30 p.m. May 27 in the Brick Township Municipal Building, when this year's scholarship recipients, beneficiaries of prior years' raffles, will be introduced at a special celebration.

The raffle has been a sellout in past years and the organizers urge those interested to call the Chamber of Commerce at (732) 477-4949 to purchase a ticket.

The Educational Foundation has been awarding scholarships for continuing education for almost 20 years and announced that this year they will be giving ten $1,000 scholarships, made possible by fundraisers such as this one.
