Support fireworks show with 50/50 drawing
Display location:Willcox
City:Willcox
State:Arizona
Date:Fourth of July
Show contact: 384-4271, ext. 4201.
Details: Time is running out on the Willcox Rotary Club fundraiser for this year's Fourth of July fireworks show, with the drawing to be held toward the end of this month.
The cost is $20 per ticket, with sales limited to a total of 500 tickets, making the chances of winning one in 500 if all the tickets are sold.
"If we sell them all, we'll have a total of $10,000 -- $5,000 for each party," said City Manager Pat McCourt, explaining that half the money will go to the fire department for fireworks, while the other half will go to the winner of the drawing.
Checks should be made payable to the "Willcox Rotary."
Ticket sales will continue until the time of the drawing, but only cash will be accepted during the final week.
The Rotary Club plans to hold that drawing at its meeting at noon on Thursday, Jan. 28.
If the winner is not present, the Rotary president will make arrangements to present the winner a check from the club, said McCourt, who is in active Rotarian.
"The City of Willcox Fire Department has done fundraising and collecting money for the fireworks with varying degrees of success," he said.
"The community has been supportive, but it's getting tougher and tougher," McCourt told the Range News in November.
As a member of Rotary, McCourt had approached the Willcox club with the idea of a 50-50 raffle.
The Willcox City Council gave its unanimous approval to the fundraising effort at its Sept. 21 meeting.
For further information, contact any Willcox Rotarian or call Pat McCourt at 384-4271, ext. 4201.
