It’s too early to be summer, but that’s not stopping the Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick’s Summer Camp Party and $10,000 cash raffle Saturday, April 27 at the Warwick Country Club.

The dinner party begins at 6 p.m. with an auction item preview and cash bar.

Dinner, silent and live auctions start at 7 p.m. Auction items include catered dinners, tickets to Patriot and Red Sox games, and lots more. You’ll also be able to cheer on some outstanding supporters: the local Planet Fitness – Anne Marie and Stephen Lukin and Team, who will be receiving the organization’s Community Hero Award, and longtime champion Donald Ysenbart of Cranston who will receive the Hall of Fame Award.

Admission for two is $200, and includes a $10,000 cash raffle ticket. The raffle ticket alone is $100. Winners need not be present. Ticket holders have the option of improving their odds of winning a portion of the grand prize by checking off the box indicating a willingness to split the prize with other finalists. With only 400 tickets available, odds of winning the $10,000 are excellent.  

All sales support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick, whose membership exceeds 1,500 youngsters. Annual club dues of only $30 plus $20 monthly fees are not nearly enough to cover the costs of its wide-ranging programming. And due to the organization’s mission of providing a safe, supervised, fun place for kids to go after school – no child is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.   

To purchase $10,000 Cash Raffle tickets, send a check or visit the Club administrative office at 42 Frederick St., Warwick, 02888. Event reservations can also be made by check or in person. Or, you can visit www.wbgclubs.org and pay on-line.

Additional sponsors and auction item donations are still being accepted. To learn more, visit the website or call the Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick at 467-4385.
