"Go for the Gold" - win $1,000 American Express Gift Card and more!

Contra Costa ARC hosts “Go for the Gold” Fundraising Raffle

In an effort to help close the funding gap, Contra Costa ARC is hosting the “Go for the Gold” raffle throughout the month of May, with a goal of raising $20,000 to help off-set lost funding to the programs impacted. The Grand Prize is a $1,000 American Express card donated by City National Bank, drawing to be held May 30, 2014. Additionally, many local companies have generously donated cash and prizes to help support this event; these prizes include three $250 cash prizes, Wine Tasting for 8 at Concannon Winery, a Limited Edition San Francisco 49ers “Throwback Football”, tickets to San Francisco Giants games, as well as complimentary tickets to many San Francisco museums, local restaurants and attractions.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. Prize winners will be drawn every Friday throughout the month of May with the $1,000 Grand Prize being drawn on May 30th.  If you’re a winner on May 2, 9, 16 or 23, your ticket will be placed back in the drum for the Grand Prize drawing on the 30th.
