In support of its mission to provide a joyful education for head, heart and hands, Pleasant Ridge Waldorf School's Good Energy Raffle raised $96,000.
The Good Energy Raffle came to a dramatic close when the winner for the grand prize hybrid 2008 Honda Civic was drawn on Friday, April 18, at the Good Energy Family Jamboree. First-place winners, The Rising Family of Viroqua, were present to accept the keys and share their excitement with more than 300 supporters who attended the celebration.
"We are grateful to everyone in this community and those around the country that purchased a raffle ticket to support the educational work of Pleasant Ridge," said Good Energy Raffle chair Missy Hughes. "It is truly remarkable to see this kind of support and outpouring of encouragement from so many."
The free family fun event began at 5:30 p.m. with a family barbeque dinner and continued until 9:30 p.m. with square dancing, old-fashioned games for kids, a pie auction, door prizes and a raffle drawing.
The second-prize winner of the complete bicycle commuter package was Jenny Cain of Viroqua. Third-prize winner of the pedestrian power package, including a handcrafted walking stick was David Lofton of Chicago. The fourth-prize handmade quilt was won by Vittal and Maya Shenoy of Charlotte, N.C.
"This money helps us to provide a special place for our children and a launching pad for a better world for them to grow and thrive in," said Hughes.
