In the first week of December, several fires broke out throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, including the Thomas Fire. Consequently, it feels as if the entire Southern California area has been set ablaze. As of this morning, the Thomas Fire was 45% contained and headed toward Montecito. As a result, it's managed to take down 750 homes. Due to this tragedy, local businesses want to do something to help those affected. Therefore, they've put together a Downtown Ventura raffle. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit victims of the Thomas Fire.
Downtown Ventura Raffle
With #downtownventurastrong, several local businesses banded together to create a Downtown Ventura raffle. Between now and December 21st, visit any participating business to pick up your raffle ticket. Your $5 ticket could net you a prize of $30 to $50 in gift cards to spend at various businesses in the downtown area. Fifteen lucky winners will be chosen in a drawing held on December 22nd from the entries. Feel free to purchase more than one if you'd like. Proceeds benefit the United Way of Ventura County, earmarked specifically for those impacted by the Thomas Fire.
