Notre Dame Ticket Raffle Winners Announced
NOTRE DAME, IN (September 14, 2007) — Holy Cross College held its 15th Annual Football Raffle on Friday, August 24th during the college’s orientation weekend. This raffle, sponsored by the Alumni Association, has been one of the college’s favorite fundraisers for the past several years. It is no surprise why this raffle has been so successful—the prizes are great! Third place is $200, second place is $ 250 and first place prize is best of all: two season tickets to the 2007 Notre Dame football season.
The season football tickets were won by Charles and Jeanette Haddix of Fort Wayne, IN. Their son, Matt, is an alumnus of Holy Cross College. Joan Kent from Irvine, CA, mother of current Holy Cross student Dylan Kent, won the second place prize of $250. The third place prize of $200 was won by Holy Cross College alumnus Ben Ingle of Shelby, NC.
The 2007 raffle raised $6,567, however, this year that amount was matched by an anonymous donor. This brought the grand total to $13,134— the biggest raffle proceeds ever! The Holy Cross Alumni Association sponsors a scholarship with the money raised.
Craig Horvath, Associate Director of Development, would like to say thank you to all who participated. “I am truly grateful to everyone who bought a ticket or contributed. Holy Cross College, as well as the student who wins this scholarship, will benefit from your generosity.”
