Three Lake Area car dealerships – Lake Charles Toyota, All-Star Buick, and Billy Navarre Chevrolet - have partnered to donate three cars for the McNeese athletic department to raffle off to help raise money for the department.
Tickets are just $20 with one ticket giving you three chances to drive away with a brand new car. The drawing will be held on May 9 at a McNeese baseball home game against Grambling. You do not have to be in attendance to win.
The cars that will be raffled off include a 2015 Buick Verano, a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and a 2015 Toyota Camry LE.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to McNeese athletics. Each of the department's sports programs will be selling tickets with that sport taking in 50-percent of the ticket proceeds going into their individual spending budget.
"McNeese is very important to our area and I think it's great that three dealers who compete against each other in the business world can come together to help out McNeese athletics," said Jack Hebert, owner of All-Star Buick. "Our hope is to raise $300-thousand. At $20 a ticket, why would you not want to take a chance at winning three brand new cars."
The McNeese Cowboy Club and Petrochem Club are also involved in the fundraiser.
