Why the Odds are good ,, and United Food Bank has a winning raffle!

 The “Give Where You Live,” United Food Bank  Raffle just launched!

The Grand Prize of this first time raffle is this 2015 Harley Davidson Road Side Special or $20,000 cash. Here’s how you could win and why the odds are good . 

For only $40 per raffle ticket, or 3 tickets for $100. The odds are 1 in 100. That’s because only 5,000 tickets are being sold. Not only that but there are there 49 other cash prizes from $100- $2,500. The raffle tickets benefit the United Food Bank, in turn feeding its much needed programs. Each day the food bank provides more than 51,000 meals to hungry people in Arizona.

Seated below on the Harley are CEO of the Mesa Chamber of Commerce, Sally Harrison, Mesa Councilman David Luna and Mesa Mayor John Giles and United Food Bank's Ginny Hildebrand and Alex Guerrero. 

  You can buy tickets thru 9/12 at 9 pm or until tickets last and you don't have to be present at the drawing to win.   

  The fundraising idea to reach more donors started with United Food Banks’ CEO Ginny Hildebrand and Chester's gave the bike to the food bank for a reduced cost. “This was the first germ of an idea for the Chester's Harley-Davidson raffle with United Food Bank from their event in the Fall of 2014, " says Ginny Hildebrand. "And I sat on a bike and said, ‘This is my next ride.’ You never know when your dreams may come true. We hope you'll buy a ticket or three!”

Good luck.
