TGMF Supporter wins $18,000 Raffle Prize!

The Redwood City Rotary Club presented San Carlos resident Winston Wykoff (pictured above with Stacey Redman) with a check for $18,000.00 on July 21, 2009. This stroke of luck happened because he attended the Prayer Breakfast hosted by the Service League of San Mateo County this past spring. Mr. Wykoff purchased five $5.00 raffle tickets from the Tim Griffith Memorial Foundation, in support of Tim’s House during the Rotary Club annual fundraising campaign.

The campaign benefited ten participating charitable organizations, including TGMF, who were given six months to sell as many raffle tickets as possible leading up to the drawing on July 4th at the Redwood City Independence Day event. Over $84,000.00 was raised in total by these charities.

This was the first year that TGMF was invited to participate in the campaign. Stacey Redman, President of the foundation shares, “We were so honored to be given the chance to participate, and when we learned we sold the winning ticket it made us feel like we were giving the prize away ourselves!” Tim’s House earned just short of $8,000.00 for our efforts, and we warmly thank all of our supporters who purchased tickets!
