Annual Lions truck raffle to be held March 14
One lucky person will walk away a winner on March 14 at the Cleburne Lions Club's 30th annual truck raffle.
The raffle, which includes dinner for two with every ticket purchase, begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Cleburne Conference Center.
'The Cleburne Lions Club is excited to host our 30th Annual Truck Raffle on March 14 — our biggest fundraiser of the year,' President Jason Cech said.
The tickets — only 375 are sold — are $100 each and are drawn out one at a time. The last ticket left in the hopper is the winner of a $20,000 voucher toward the purchase of a vehicle from either:
— Jeff England Motor Co.
— Cleburne Ford
— Classic Chevrolet Buick GMC of Cleburne
The winner does not need to be present to win.
Monies raised from the raffle remain in Johnson County to assist with Lions sight-related programs for children in the community.
'This event allows us to provide free eyeglass screenings for local schoolchildren and help those in need receive the gift of clear vision,' Cech said. 'We couldn't do this without the incredible support of our community and the dedication of our hardworking Lions Club members.'
In addition, ticketholders will be eligible to win door prizes throughout the event that have been donated by local businesses and individuals.
Among the prizes will be gift cards, gift baskets, kitchen items, handbags and decor.
'It's going to be a fun-filled evening with a barbecue dinner catered by Roscoe's Barbecue, door prizes, auction items, a 50/50 drawing and of course, the highly anticipated truck raffle, in which one lucky winner will win a $20,000 voucher towards the purchase of a new vehicle with Cleburne Ford, Classic Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Jeff England Co.,' Cech said. 'We invite everyone to join us for a great cause and a great time.'
Attendees will have a chance to bid on some nice items in the live auction. This year Cleburne ISD has donated a Yellow Jacket All-Season Pass for two to all home events.
If you are looking for a nice little getaway for a weekend, maybe you would like to bid on a three-night stay in a cozy cabin in Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico, compliments of Johnson County Chem-Dry.
Tickets are going fast. To purchase a ticket, contact any Lion member or Dugger Electric, 505 S. Caddo St. in Cleburne or by phone at 817-774-9473.
