Blogger's Note: The following was provided by the Pottstown Area Senior Center.
There is only one month remaining to get your tickets for the 18th annual Pottstown Area Seniors’ Center car raffle.
The grand prize drawing will be held on Sept. 1 at 6 p.m., and the grand prize winner will have their choice of a brand new Honda Fit or $15,000 cash.
In addition, there are six cash prizes from $250 to $50.
“This is a great way for the community to support the senior center,” said Brian Parkes, executive director. “And of course, one lucky person will walk away with a brand new car or $15,000 cash!”
Proceeds from the raffle will be used to support programs for seniors in the greater Pottstown area.

Proceeds from the raffle will be used to support programs for seniors in the greater Pottstown area.
The senior center offers nearly 40 programs and services each week – 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.
Additionally, a staff member is available to help seniors choose and access health care benefits, and fill out the often complicated forms.
“Nearly 1,500 seniors every year stop by the senior center, and many come on a daily basis,” said Parkes. “Many of our participants would be sitting home alone. Instead, they come to the senior center to see their friends, socialize, exercise, play games, and receive the help they need to remain living independently.”
Car raffle tickets are $10 each, or four for $30.
