Thanks to the efforts of 68 councils we sold 2,576 tickets this year. That is an increase of 15% over last year, great job everyone. Because of you, we raised $8,430 for the disaster relief fund. We hope to never have to use it but it is good to know that it is there when something does happen. Due to the record high ticket sales, $3.27/sold ticket will be going back to the councils. For the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton council in Lexington, that comes out to $709.59 for selling 217 tickets. Great job!
The 2nd place winner ($500) was one of the free tickets from the “Buy 2 get 1 Free” program we started this year.
