The new event raised over $68,000 in support of Johnston Community College
SMITHFIELD – Johnston Community College Foundation recently hosted its annual raffle fundraiser with an exciting, new twist. The 2022 Annual Raffle & Casino Night was a Roaring Twenties themed event that raised $68,000, to-date, to help sustain programs including professional development grants, awards to faculty and staff for strategic projects to increase enrollment and enhance offerings, and direct institutional support.
Anyone who purchased a ticket for the Annual Raffle & Casino Night had a chance to win a $5,000 cash prize in the Reverse Raffle that kicked off the evening. The nearly 200 guests in attendance were offered the opportunity to be part of the best dressed “flapper” and “dapper” contest to be awarded $500 each. Following the Reverse Raffle, attendees played casino games including blackjack, craps, poker, and roulette for their chance to win great prizes including a beach vacation, jewelry, a gym membership, and massage package.
