Posts Tagged ‘2003 Mini Cooper’

As most of you who come in the pharmacy know, we’ve had a Mini Cooper car parked in front of the drugstore for several months now. A giant sign in the front window of the car proclaimed, “Win this Mini.”

And now someone has.

The winner of the Mini Cooper was Vivian Opelt, a Dublin resident, who is a huge supporter of Black and Orange Cat Foundation.

Joe and I did the drawing on Wednesday, December 29, with a bit of help from Betty Williamson, who drew the winning ticket. Joe videotaped the drawing and you can see it on the Black and Orange Cat Foundation Facebook fan page HERE.

Thank you also to Roger Weeks for allowing us to use his ticket drum for the raffle.

Black and Orange Cat Foundation sold a total of 174 tickets, just short of the 200 they had been trying to sell. The raffle raised nearly $9,000 to spay and neuter area cats. The money raised can neuter almost 350 male cats and spay nearly 220 female cats (or some combination of the two). Tickets were sold across Ohio and even to people in other states (we were not sure how we would get the car to Florida or out west, but we were going to try).

I want to thank everyone from the Plain City community and all our Plain City Druggist customers who entered the drawing and helped to support Black and Orange Cat Foundation. I also want to thank Ernie Sparks of Ernie’s Medicine Shoppe (formerly London Apothecary) for donating the car and helping us in our fundraising efforts.

Once the car leaves the Plain City Druggist parking lot, be on the look out for a cat behind the wheel. Vivian has assured us that she will only give the keys to her lucky felines in an emergency, but cats tend to be aggressive drivers, especially when they are texting, so watch out!
