Charity Raffle for a Vette, Harleys or Cash!
A non-profit group is putting on a raffle to help renovate the historic Grand Theatre and the winner has a choice of either a 2008 Corvette, his/hers Harleys or $40,000 cash.
DOUGLAS, AZ - DAHA, an all volunteer, non-profit group has taken on the ominous task of renovating the historic Grand Theatre in Douglas, Arizona. The theatre's website www.grandtheatredouglas.org is a windfall of historic information, photos, comments, and conversations regarding the rich tradition of this cultural jewel of southeast Arizona, plus offers a secure method of purchasing tickets for DAHA's biggest annual fundraising raffle.
This year's raffle, which is open to the public, will be held on the 4th of July in the theatre's lobby. The winner has a choice of either a 2008 Corvette, or His and Hers Harley bikes, or $40,000 cash. Tickets are $75 or 3 tickets for $200. Only 3,000 total tickets will be sold. The raffle offers entrants a series of early bird drawings with a $500 cash award or ten additional tickets for the grand drawing on July 4th
The yearly event is a major contribution to the federal matching funds grant received by the group in the past year.
Currently, scaffolding is visible on the giant marquis of the theatre. The lobby's sidewalk entrance has been sealed for repairs to the original ticket booth and doors. The Grand has two locations on either side, one was a barbershop, the other a candy store. The corner barbershop is fully restored and leased as a small office. The candy shop is being renovated and has a waiting list of hopeful tenants.
Once restored, the Grand Theatre will serve the city of Douglas and southeast Arizona as a community cultural venue for the arts, schools, and businesses. For more information or to purchase raffle tickets please visit www.grandtheatredouglas.org.
