Long Realty Cares Foundation’s “Ticket to Care” Raffle Ends Next Week

The Long Realty Cares Foundation announced it has sold more than 1,000 raffle tickets since the third-annual 2010 Ticket to Care raffle officially kicked off on September 24. Raffle sales conclude November 3.

Tucson, AZ, October 31, 2010 --(PR.com)-- All raffle proceeds benefit the work of the Long Realty Cares Foundation, and will help to carry on the proud philanthropic tradition of the Long Realty Companies. Last year’s Ticket to Care Raffle generated more than $16,000 in contributions for local organizations.

Raffle tickets are available for purchase through all Long Realty sales associates, or by visiting any Long Realty branch office. Single raffle tickets are $15, two tickets are $20, or 12 tickets may be purchased for $100.

The 10 prize packages being raffled off total more than $17,000 and include golf and overnight stays in local resorts, restaurants certificates, spa services, and vacations in Colorado and Mexico.

“The Ticket to Care Raffle provides a great opportunity for the public to get involved in supporting the efforts of the Long Realty Cares Foundation,” said Susan Barry, Long Realty Cares Foundation President of the Board.

“Since all of the prizes were generously donated by local businesses, this is almost a no-cost fundraiser for us, meaning 100 percent of the money raised will go directly into the community,” she said.

The raffle drawing will take place November 3 at 5:30 p.m. at Cushing Street Bar & Restaurant, 198 W. Cushing Street. Live entertainment will be provided by Chavez, Hallowell and Long, with special guest John Turi. Raffle participants need not be present to win.

About Long Realty Cares Foundation

Long Realty Cares Foundation was established in 2002 to provide a venue for Long Realty sales associates and employees to collectively enhance the quality of life in Arizona. As the Foundation evolves, it is distinguishing itself by building a legacy of philanthropy. To date, more than 1.7 million dollars in support have been donated to nearly 170 different non-profit organizations in the communities in which we live and work. Foundation monies come from the many Long Realty sales associates who voluntarily donate a portion of their commission from each real estate transaction and from Long Companies employees who personally contribute to the Foundation. Many Long Realty sales associates and employees go even further in their efforts to effect positive change; they make a commitment to serve local charitable organizations in a volunteer capacity.
