2021 Goldn Harvest Winners

2021 Gold’n Harvest
50/50 Raffle
Announcing the Winners

The Gold’n Harvest 50/50 Raffle Drawing was held last Sunday, December 12th. We did our best to capture pre-pandemic times for the event. Besides the small gathering of parishioners, the Big Raffle Drawing was live-streamed in the auditorium thanks to the expertise of Gerianne LaPratt.

We had to forego our catered parish breakfast and the consolation (sur)prizes again, but there were plenty of donuts and coffee to go around to those who attended.

This was an extraordinary year with respect to the process and results of the raffle. We needed to scramble on the weekend of the drawing due to the lack of tickets to sell. Folks were generous in their response to Father’s request to his parish friends as well as our parishioners. It ended well thanks to last minute calls made by Theresa Zuerblis and Father Duane to those who had not yet turned in their tickets, sold or unsold.

After all the returns were reconciled, the total raffle earnings amounted to $35,140, truly our best year. The amount of $17,570 will go to the parish, and the balance of $17,570 was awarded to the following winners in accordance with the rules of the State of Michigan Charitable Gaming Commission. We congratulate these lucky winners!
 

1st Prize: $10,542 to Lisa Porter, one of our Online Givers
and former student of St. Matthew School

2nd Prize: $4,919.60 to Rob Funk, a parishioner of St.
Matthew’s

3rd Prize: $2,108.40 to Len Henk, a friend of Father
Duane’s and a support of St. Matthew Parish

Sellers’ Drawing Winner: $200 to Father Duane Novelly

Thanks also to Co-chair, Bill Zuerblis, for his loyal support to this effort. Patricia Camazzola manned the ticket table after Saturday Masses. Jennifer Khalifah not only provided the breakfast goodies for the drawing event but also collected returns on Sundays after Mass. Thank you to
Patricia and Toni Scully for their assistance in allocating tickets for the requests from Father’s friends.

Of course, we cannot forget those of you who bought or sold the 50/50 Gold’n Harvest Raffle tickets. Your efforts in this challenging time made this fundraiser a success beyond our expectations!

Co-Chairs, Bill Zuerblis and Marilyn Lynn
