Congratulations Atomic Orange Corvette Raffle Winner

We had an exciting afternoon drawing another Corvette raffle winner and congratulations to Earl Shaw of Elkhart, IN! Earl held winning ticket number 404 and has participated in many of our raffles over the past few years. “I am in shock – thank you so much.” Earl shared with us between his outbursts of laughter! Earl will be visiting soon to take delivery of his 2009 Atomic Orange Coupe and looks forward to owning a new Corvette.

On Thursday, March 19 we will draw a winner for a chance to “build your own” Z06! This raffle offers 1 in 500 odds with only 500 tickets printed to sell. Everyone has a favorite color and this raffle gives you the chance to pick yours by choosing from currently available options. Our raffle fundraisers are an exciting opportunity and we appreciate your support in allowing us to offer them to you.
