ST. Martin of Tours Academy Will Raffle Ford Escape XLS on April 17

March 4, 2010 - PRLog -- La Mesa-based St. Martin of Tours Academy (www.stmartinacademy.org) today announced this year’s Drive-Away fundraiser will be held on Saturday, April 17 at its Parish Hall from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m.. Leading the prize list for the event is a 2010 Ford Escape XLS. Less than 4,000 chance tickets will be made available for the drawing.

“The donation for each ticket is only $25, and with a limited amount of tickets being distributed, we feel like there’s a very good opportunity for someone to drive away with a new Escape from our friends at Drew Ford,” said the SMA Drive-Away chairperson, Erin Bushey. “Proceeds benefit St. Martin Academy (SMA) and donations are tax deductible.”

In addition to the Ford Escape, St. Martin of Tours Academy will have an impressive list of prizes available for auction and for draw on April 17. Prizes include a Blu-ray home theater system, a California Dreamin’ Oceanside Getaway, Padres VIP package and much more.

San Diego County residents are encouraged to attend SMA’s fundraising event on April 17, which will include appetizers and wine tasting from a San Diego vintner. All interested attendees and anyone with questions on the SMA Drive-Away event may contact Chairperson Erin Bushey at (619) 843-8592 or erinaub@cox.net.
