You Could Win $10,000 in Senior Center Raffle

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. 

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. 

Tickets may be purchased at the Center at 288 Moser Road, Pottstown (the former Pottstown Health Club), from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. The rain date for the drawing is Tuesday, Sept. 5, at 4 p.m. at the Center’s Moser Road location.

Formerly the Pottstown Area Seniors’ Center, the TriCounty Active Adult Center serves adults age 50 and better with programs and services including information and referral assistance, a daily free lunch, exercise programs, social activities, and much more. 

Now celebrating its 43rd anniversary, the mission of the TriCounty Active Adult Center is to enhance the well-being of older adults by providing services and activities that promote an independent and healthy life style. The TriCounty Active Adult Center has nearly 2,500 members, and anyone living in the tri-county area (Berks, Chester and Montgomery Counties) who is 50+ years of age is welcome to attend the Center.
