Chamber Kicks Off Grand Sports Raffle


SOMERSWORTH—
The Greater Somersworth Chamber of Commerce recently kicked off its annual Grand Sports Raffle, a fundraising raffle that offers the winner a number of tickets to major sports events. One lucky winner takes all tickets to three different sporting events.
Up for grabs this year are two box seat tickets to a 2011 Red Sox game with a value of $240 as well as four tickets valued at $800 to a Boston Celtics game next season with center court, club seats and a parking pass included. Two UNH Hockey tickets for the 2012 season will also go to the one winner. Price for the raffle tickets is one for $5, six for $25, and 12 for $40. The drawing takes place on May 20 at the Chamber’s Annual Dinner and Awards event, but the winner does not to need to be present to win.
Sponsors of this year’s raffle are Digital Ink Printing, Waste Management, and Seacoast Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. For information on purchasing raffle tickets, contact the Chamber at 603-692-7175 or info@somersworthchamber.com.
