Buy a Raffle Ticket to Win a Mini Cooper S and Help Black and Orange Cat Foundation!

Ernie Sparks, who owns Ernie’s London Apothecary in London, Ohio, donated his son’s 2003 Mini Cooper S to Black and Orange Cat Foundation. As many of you know, Black and Orange Cat Foundation is a local charitable organization that focuses on spaying and neutering stray and feral cats to reduce the feline overpopulation problem in the area.

The Mini Cooper S is the sport version of the Mini (it has a clutch with six gears and the speedometer goes to over 150). The car has around 130,000 miles on it now and has a retail book value of over $12,000.

Black and Orange Cat Foundation is going to raffle the Mini off and they now have raffle tickets available. One ticket is $50. The group is selling a minimum of 200 tickets. The drawing for the Mini will be held on December 15 as long as 200 tickets have been sold. Any tickets over the 200 will just give B and O more money to spay and neuter more kitties. 

With the $50 for the raffle ticket, Black and Orange Cat Foundation can spay approximately one female cat or neuter two male cats. From 2006 to 2009, B and O has sterilized 2,320 cats (so far in 2010, they have spayed and neutered between 250-300 cats). 

The rules for the raffle are this:

You must be 18 or older to enter.

You do not need to be present to win– B and O will call you or email you if you are the winner. Don’t worry, they will get hold of you somehow.

The winner is responsible for any taxes or fees associated with the transfer of the title. The winner is also responsible for arranging pick up of the car (although, if you ask, I am sure Black and Orange will figure out a way to meet part way with the car if you live outside of the central Ohio area).

The car is sold “as is.”

There is no limit on how many tickets one person can buy. 

You can purchase a raffle ticket by stopping in to Plain City Druggist.

If you don’t live near Plain City, you can also purchase tickets by mailing a check or money order made out to Black and Orange Cat Foundation to P. O. Box 126, Plain City, Ohio 43064. Please indicate on the check or in a note how many tickets you want. The raffle ticket will then be filled out with your information (please make sure you include your phone number or email address so the group will be able to reach you if you win) and the half of the ticket that you must keep until the drawing will be mailed back to you.

Again the drawing will be held on December 15 if 200 tickets have been sold by that time. By selling 200 tickets, Black and Orange Cat Foundation will raise $10,000 to help area cats. 

I want to thank Ernie Sparks for helping Black and Orange Cat Foundation and the kitties with this super donation, which will give B and O the opportunity to “sterilize a carload of kitties” with the proceeds from the raffle tickets.
