CHANUTE — The Friends of Tri-Valley Foundation have announced the winner of the 24th Annual Truck Raffle Drawing is Thomas Lazerus. Lazerus and his son Matthew traveled to Chanute from California on Tuesday, July 2, to collect his prize.
Lazerus is now the proud owner of a 2024 Ford F150 Platinum Edition Truck, purchased from Steve Faulkner Ford in Chanute.
This year’s raffle drawing raised over $14,000 which will go to provide quality and affordable housing as well as aid in the delivery of services for neighbors with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD).
