There are only days remaining to get your tickets for the 22nd annual TriCounty Active Adult Center cash raffle.
The grand prize drawing will be held on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 3:45 PM at Duryea Day in Boyertown Community Park.
The grand prize winner will walk away with $10,000 cash, and a runner up will go home $5,000 richer. In addition, there are seven more cash prizes from $250 to $50.
“This is a great way for the community to support the Center,” said Brian Parkes, executive director. “And of course, one lucky person will be $10,000 richer!”
Proceeds from the raffle will be used to support programs for older adults in the tri-county area.

Proceeds from the raffle will be used to support programs for older adults in the tri-county area.
The Center offers 25 programs and services every day – everything from exercise programs such as Yoga and Tai Chi, to a free daily nutritious lunch, to support groups, to card games, and much, much more. Free Medicare counseling is offered, and a staff member is always available to help seniors find needed services and benefits, and fill out the often complicated forms.
“Nearly 200 seniors stop by the Center every day,” said Parkes. “Many of our participants would be sitting home alone. Instead, they come to the Center to see their friends, socialize, exercise, play games, and receive the help they need to remain living independently.”
Cash raffle tickets are $10 each, or four for $30.
