Haines Big Brothers Big Sisters would like to thank the community for making this year’s raffle a success. The three winners of the statewide raffle for Alaska Airlines miles are: Janet Bowen of Homer (100,000 miles), Brunis Soto of Juneau (50,000 miles) and Jim Roderigues of Fairbanks (25,000 miles). The raffle raised $2,940 for Haines BBBS.
We are grateful to the Haines supporters for buying tickets. We also thank those who sold tickets including: Georgianna Hotch (ticket sales champ.), Natalie Jobbins, Amber Nash, Sadie Anderson, LA Graham, Toni Dewitt, Fogcutter Bar, Pioneer Bar, Judy Ewald, Pam Randles and yours truly. The raffle’s success was strengthened by three local business supporters who contributed ticket-seller incentive prizes: Alaska Back Country Outfitter, Alaska Mountain Guides and Climbing School/Chilkat Guides and the Haines Rafting Co. Thanks to all.
We need Bigs! Call to learn about Mentoring for Educational Success in our school program. Just one hour weekly, during the school day, launches a life-changing friendship and strengthens a youth’s school success.
