The Fairmount 500, a raffle benefiting Fairmount Center for the Arts, is returning this summer with an opportunity for one participant to win $15,000.
A second-place prize of $2,000 and a third-place prize of $1,000 will also be offered, school officials confirmed.
Each ticket is $100 and only 500 will be sold.
“Purchasing a ticket in the Fairmount 500 raffle will also support an important community resource here in the Chagrin Valley,” said Fairmount Executive Director Elizabeth Bolander. “The funds raised will help us serve more individuals with our dance, music, theatre and visual arts classes, as well as our outreach programs.”
Ticket sales for the Fairmount 500 raffle continue through Aug. 26 at 5 p.m. or until all 500 tickets are sold. Tickets can be purchased online at fairmountcenter.org or over the phone at 440-338-3171.
In-person sales will begin at Fairmount July 5. Winners will be announced at the closing reception for the 46th Annual Fairmount Art Exhibition at 6 p.m. Aug. 27.
The drawing will be held at Fairmount Center for the Arts at 8400 Fairmount Road in Russell Township and live-streamed at fairmountcenter.org.
