The Palm Springs Dream Home Raffle final drawing was conducted at DesertArc’s campus in Palm Desert on Wednesday, July 1, 2009. About 400 people attended the event. In all, 101 valuable prizes were awarded. Including the nine previous Early Bird drawings, 151 raffle prizes were awarded during the program.
Listed below is the tentative prize list with the winners. It simply lists all of the prize winners and amounts won but it does not distinguish among the different promotions. With so many prize winners to handle at once, it will take us several days to confirm all of the information though this list should be 99% reliable as it now stands. We will contact each prize winner and make arrangements to verify required personal information, including identification. We will also make arrangements to have the prizes delivered (or picked up at our office). Please be patient with us as we work through this process.
We want to thank all of you for participating in our first annual dream home raffle. Our staff enjoyed meeting many of you personally and/or interacting with you on the phone. We are already making plans for conducting the raffle next year. If you want to ensure that you are on our contact list, please click here to email us.
We especially want to thank you for supporting our cause—enhancing the lives of people with developmental disabilities. Funds raised from the raffle go to supporting meals, transportation, medical care and other support service for our clients.
See you next year!
