SHERBURNE - The Rogers Center’s managing organization, Friends of Rogers, is raffling off a Tesla S as their main fundraiser, and representatives of the organization said raffle tickets are selling for as low as five dollars.

According to Friends of Rogers Communications Director Heather Tehan, Friends of Rogers started an Electric Car Raffle on Thursday, May 14.

Tehan said the Electric Car Raffle is a new fundraiser for Friends of Rogers, featuring a prize of a 2015 Tesla Model S valued at approximately $35,000, and it will be available on-site at the Rogers Center in front of the Visitor Center for people to see, as staff is available, until the buildings are reopened.

She said the raffle will run until 6 p.m. on October 14, and the drawing will be held at noon on October 21, at Rogers Center and will be open to the public. She added that tickets are five dollars each, five tickets for $20, and for those who would like more, other bundles are available. All details and rules for the raffle can be found on their website, www.FriendsofRogers.org under the “Win a Tesla” tab.

“We hope to introduce people to the electric vehicle while we raise money for our environmental education programs to continue,” said Tehan. “We are facing a year without the Spring Frolic and the cancellation of the school field trips and outreach programs, so that makes this our main fundraiser for the year.”
