FARMINGTON — Tickets for the Healthy Community Coalition third annual Winter Windfall raffle are now available at its offices until the end of January. The raffle is sponsored by Franklin Community Health Network.

By donating $10 per ticket to HCC, the donor will be eligible for 31 prizes to be drawn daily throughout January. A sampling of prizes include: a Saddleback mini-vacation for four ($950 value); a guided fly fishing trip ($450 value); an Xbox 360 Kinect ($315); an iPod Nano ($146); restaurant certificates; ski passes to Sugarloaf, Sunday River and Titcomb Mountain; a fitness membership, and more.

According to Executive Director Heather Davis, HCC looks for innovative ways to continue current programs. Due to the poor economic climate, some state programs and private foundations that previously funded programs are unable to continue to do so.

The tickets are the perfect gift for those who are hard to buy for and make great stocking stuffers.

Proceeds from the raffle will permit HCC to offer programs not covered by grants and allow for the expansion of health screenings, health promotion and education, outreach and mobile health unit services to meet community requests.

Tickets are available from any HCC staff or board member, by stopping by HCC offices at 105 Mt. Blue Circle in Farmington, or by printing out and mailing in the form found at www.fchn.org/news.

For additional information, contact Janis Walker at the Healthy Community Coalition at 779-2925 or 1-800-525-3136, ext. 2925.
