Win This Truck! and Other Adventures in Fundraising
|
Suffield’s 350th Anniversary Committee is hard at work raising money to pay for our town’s birthday celebration in 2020. We have been selling tee shirts and ball caps, and we’re hosting a golf outing and a beer tasting, but our biggest fundraiser by far is the truck raffle that will be held at Suffield on the Green at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. We need your help to make it a success! Truck raffle tickets are $20 each and no more than 4,000 tickets will be sold. Those are pretty good odds!
