JRF Thanksgiving raffle recap

Thanks to all of our wonderful supporters, volunteers and everyone who bought a raffle ticket, the first ever JRF Thanksgiving raffle fundraiser was a great success! The raffle netted more than $1,100, which will greatly help JRF during these tough economic times.

The grand prize, a $500 Kroger gift card, was awarded to Maureen O'Brien (pictured above, right). We were touched to discover that Maureen, in true holiday giving spirit, is contributing her winnings to help people in need. She is donating her prize to Athens Land Trust, People of Hope, and two local families in the Athens area.

Congratulations to Tom Krausmann of Illinois who won the second prize, $40 in Kroger gift certificates.

Thank you once again to everyone who helped to make this project a success. We wish you all a wonderful holiday season.
