“Participating in the raffle is a great way to support Fairmount and to dream big,” Board director Toby Maloney said in the release. “Since we’re limiting the number of tickets to 500, the odds are attractive and we hope our top prize of $15,000 and runner-up prizes of $2,000 and $1,000 will be appealing to people.”

The drawing will be held on the evening of Aug. 26 during the culminating reception of the 45th Annual Fairmount Art Exhibition. This event is free and open to the public.

Additionally, the drawing for the winning ticket will also be live-streamed so all can join in the fun of this moment from wherever their location, the release stated.
