What is the Helping Hands Raffle?

The Helping Hands Raffle is a fundraising event which benefits Laurel Health System, through the purchase of needed equipment and funding of crucial programs.

The Helping Hands Raffle combines fun with philanthropy, creating a powerful force. Only 500 tickets will be sold, at a cost of $250 per ticket. Ticket holders are then entered in a series of drawings. There will be 50 weekly drawings for $100, two $25's, and one "bonus ball". There are also three "bonus" drawings for $500!

The Grand Prize drawings, which will take place at the Radisson Hotel in Corning on March 5, 2011, are your chance to win $10,000, $5,000, or $1,000! Ticket holders are invited to attend - free of charge - the annual Helping Hands Gala to observe the Grand Drawings. The event includes a fun-filled social hour and a delicious dinner. A guest may accompany you for only $20.

Profits from the Raffle are used to benefit Laurel Health System, as described on the "How Funds Are Used" page.

What is a Helping Hands Patron?

Helping Hands Patrons are individuals who want to support the Helping Hands Fundraiser without participating in the raffle. Patrons are not eligible for any of the prize drawings, and the cost for participation reflects that - $200.

Like Raffle ticket holders, all Patrons are invited to attend the annual Helping Hands Gala at no charge, with a one-guest fee of $20. There, you'll enjoy a wonderful, fun evening learning how your donation is being used to support the mission of Laurel Health System.
  I would like to become a patron.
