50/50 raffle will benefit town's July 4th celebration

 

In order to boost funding for the town’s annual July 4th celebration, the Canton Recreation Department will be offering 50/50 raffle tickets, which will be available through the Recreation Department as well as many downtown businesses. 

Tickets are $5 each and the winning ticket will be drawn on July 4th just prior to the fireworks display.

“Given the difficult economy, sponsorship and donations have been very light this year,” said Recreation Department Chairman Tim Brooks.  “Canton Recreation has been compelled to maximize its available funds and intends to offer a terrific event for the citizens of Canton in the true tradition of this event.”

Finalized plans will soon be presented to the Board of Selectmen and School Committee for approval.        

If anyone wishes to purchase raffle tickets or make a donation to the July 4th Celebration, please stop by the Recreation Department at 92 Pleasant Street or call 781-821-5030 for more information.
