04 Nov Shopping Spree Raffle

Carteret Community College Foundation Raffles Grocery Shopping Spree

Morehead City, N.C. (November 4, 2020) – The Carteret Community College Foundation is looking to spread holiday cheer this year by giving one lucky person a five-minute shopping spree at Lowes Foods of Morehead City. To have the chance to win the shopping spree, people can purchase a ticket for $20 each to enter the drawing.  The Foundation will cap sales at 1,000 tickets.

The first-place winner will get a five-minute shopping spree and the chance to win two additional $50 gift cards to Lowes Foods of Morehead City. The second-place winner will win a $100 gift card from Lowes Foods of Morehead City. The third-place winner will win a $50 gift card from Lowes Foods of Morehead City.

The drawing will take place on December 3, 2020, at 8 a.m. The shopping spree will take place on December 11 at 6 a.m.

“Because of the Coronavirus, we had to become creative in our fundraising opportunities,” said Brenda Reash, Executive Director of the Carteret Community College Foundation. “Many of our events like our Escoffier Dinner series and our Shuck, Rattle and Roll event have been cancelled. We thought that the Gobble Gobble Shopping Spree would be a good way to generate funds in a socially distant way and provide groceries and gift cards to the lucky winners.”

Tickets are available at the following locations:

• In-person at the Carteret Community College Foundation at 3505 Arendell St., Morehead City
• In-person at The Market at Cedar Point on Nov. 7, 14, and 21 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• In-person at Atlantic Beach ACE Hardware on Nov. 7, 14, and 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• In-person at Beaufort ACE Home Center on Nov. 7, 14, 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Nov. 8, 15, and 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• Online at carteret.edu/foundation/ccc-foundation-events.

Tickets will be sold until December 2 in person, until Nov. 20 online, or until 1,000 tickets have been sold.
