Chase the ACE with Cobwebs and Caviar

The Alzheimer Society of Dufferin County, in partnership with Cobwebs & Caviar are excited to bring a fundraiser to Shelburne called “Chase the ACE”.
Its based on a progressive raffle ticket draw and tickets have been available at Cobwebs, 147 Main Street West since October. Ticket sales are going well but we need more people to help this fundraiser.
The first draw took place at the Shelburne store on October 26th and owner AJ Cavey handed over a cheque to Lindsay Gregory from The Alzheimer Society to help the cause. Tickets are $5.00 each and if the weekly draw reaches the maximum of 52 weeks, the accumulating jackpot could be as high as $78,000!!!!
So how it works, you purchase a ticket to win a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the tickets, you also have an opportunity to win a progressive jackpot by selecting a card form a deck of 52 cards , this makes it more fun. If the Ace of spades is selected in addition to winning 20% of the proceeds, the person will also win 30% of the jackpot!.
The Alzheimer Society would like thank AJ Cavey for her support and the general public for purchasing tickets, which are still available. If you have any questions feel free to contact Lindsay Gregory at 519 941 1221 ext 104 or awareness@alzheimersdufferin.org
