Parks and Recreation Foundation vacation chance benefits arts, young athletes and much more
STOCKTON - The Stockton Parks and Recreation Foundation is selling tickets for a chance to win a vacation for two to either a 10-day cruise in the Eastern Caribbean or eight days in Italy.
The fundraiser will benefit projects of the Stockton Sports Commission, Youth Sports Foundation, Pixie Woods Board of Directors, Children’s Museum Board of Directors, Stockton Arts Commission, Stockton Youth Advisory Commission, Silver Lake Camper’s Association and Stockton Parks and Recreation Commission. Funds from 2007’s drawing provided scholarships for underprivileged youth to attend camps and play sports and helped with the construction of a new fishing pier and renovations to the volcano area at Pixie Woods, among many other things.
Tickets are $100 each and only 500 will be sold. The drawing will be held Friday, October 17 at the Stockton Arts Commission’s 31st annual Arts Awards Celebration at the Bob Hope Theatre. Ticket holders need not be present to win.
The Stockton Parks and Recreation Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing funding and assistance to these groups. Tickets for this chance drawing are available at the Stockton Parks and Recreation office, 6 E. Lindsay Street. Call (209) 937-5013 for further information.
