Hot Rod for Habitat

3/20/2019

​Habitat for Humanity La Crosse Area made a huge announcement at our Raise the Roof concert January 12. In addition to the raffle prizes being drawn for that night, there was a special, larger raffle prize to be unveiled. Habitat Executive Director Kahya Fox announced during the concert that a refurbished 1953 Chevy truck had been donated to the organization to be raffled.

​The Chevy truck, donated to Habitat La Crosse anonymously to our All Hands In Capital Campaign, has an appraised value of $40,000. It is brick red with a wood-inlay bed. It is a very striking vehicle and immediately drummed up quite a bit of attention. 
To help spread the word about the truck, and so more people can see it, we have already had several ticket stops at local businesses. B.A. Burrito Co., Fayze’s, and Cabin Coffee have already hosted us, and we will be holding stops at Rudy’s Drive-In when the warmer weather lets them open for the season.

Morrie’s Volkswagen offered up space in their showroom to host the truck between ticket stops through this weekend. They are also selling tickets during this time. Then it will move to Dahl Automotive, followed by Pischke Motors in June.

In addition to ticket stops, the tickets are being sold at various local businesses and at the Habitat La Crosse ReStore. These include B.A. Burrito locations, Pearl Street Brewery and the Briar Patch. They were also sold at the 45th Annual Custom Auto Show held at the La Crosse center earlier this month. Even with the less than ideal weather, almost 400 tickets were sold just that weekend.

Only 2000 tickets total are being sold to increase the likelihood that buyers could win. A chance to win a $40,000 truck for just $25 a ticket, or five for $100, seems like a no-brainer. What’s more, each ticket sale helps us build more homes, communities and hope! And each ticket includes four coupons to local businesses: a cup of coffee from Cabin Coffee; a cookie or bar from Fayze’s; free chips and queso with the purchase of an entrée from B.A. Burrito; and $5 off a $20 purchase at Rudy’s Drive-In. 
​
The raffle runs through June 29. On that day, Habitat La Crosse will hold the raffle drawing during our ReNEW La Crosse Neighborhoods block party. Ticket holders do not have to be present to win.
The truck raffle is very exciting for everyone here at Habitat La Crosse, and we encourage the whole community to buy a ticket or 10 while they are still available. What better way to win than by helping us build homes, communities and hope!
