The SUNY Oswego State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA) Planning Committee invites the campus community to learn more about what the Port City has to offer via the return of the Explore Oswego raffle with eight prize baskets worth over $3,000. Proceeds benefit the United Way of Greater Oswego County.
The baskets range in value from $153 to $489, with seven baskets worth over $300 each. Donations by United University Professions and the Civil Service Employees Association allowed the committee to purchase $700 worth of extra gift certificates and create a lottery card basket.
Online ticket sales will run through 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29. Tickets are $5 each or six for $25. In-person sales will take place on Wednesday, April 30, and Thursday, May 1, in the Marano Campus Center food court area. You can see what is in the baskets in person and purchase tickets from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. both days, but organizers will only accept cash sales at this time.
Live drawings for all baskets will take place on Thursday, May 1, at 1:30 p.m. when sales conclude. Baskets must be picked up by Friday, May 2, unless other arrangements are made.
Many Oswego businesses made donations to the baskets, and the committee would like to thank them all. They include: The Broadwell Group, JP Jewelers, City of Oswego, Compass Federal Credit Union, Oswego Players, Aqua Spa Float Center, Stone Creek Golf Club, Blossom Yoga, Robert Hageny, Eagle Beverage, The Simple Life, Stone’s Candies, Fruit Valley Orchard, Moonstone Skin and Soul, Children’s Museum of Oswego, Chelle’s Bakery, Heidi Ho Donuts, Six Scoops Ice Cream, Confectionately Yours, Mother Earth/Curious Kidz, Good Guys Barbers and Wade’s Diner.
