Two supporters will drive away in brand new Jeep Wranglers during the 11th Annual High Hopes 4 Autism “Funraiser” scheduled June 2-4 at Pirate’s Cove in Josephine.
Organizers are selling opportunities to win two 2017 Jeep Wranglers, with drawdowns starting at noon on Saturday and Sunday. Jeep tickets are $100 each and are available at Pirates Cove and online at HighHopes4Autism. org. Only 500 raffle tickets per jeep will be sold. Tickets to the event are $10 per day, which is included in the price of a jeep raffle ticket.
High Hopes is the local nonprofit specializing in language development and social behavior therapy for school-age children.
“So many people look forward to this event each year, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the community support,” said Rachael Mueller, director of High Hopes 4 Autism. “Not only is it a fun beach weekend, but it is our center’s only fundraising source throughout the year. Our supporters really get behind it.”
The FUNraiser features three days of food and fun, a silent action and live music from an eclectic assortment of talented bands and musicians. The highlights of the weekend are the drawdowns for the 2017 Jeeps, provided by Gulf Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Foley. Other sponsors include Pirates Cove, Wills Marine, Fox Warehouse, Perdido Sailor, Coastal Industrial, Regions Bank, Hunter Furniture, BRP and ALS Bail Bonds.
