Grand Prize: Commencement Condo

In an unique fund raiser, the Tacoma Broadway Center for the Performing Arts will hold a raffle with some spectacular prizes. The grand prize is the chance to live in Ruston ~ in one of the condo's in The Commencement building (valued at $1 million). First prize is a new car. Tickets are $99 each. The Business Examiner has more details here...

It's a different way to market the project in challenging times. Wonder who the new neighbor will be? The raffle drawing is set for June 2010.

How will the raffled condo help Ruston and the Arts?

1.It is a fund raiser for the Arts
with a condo in Ruston as the Grand Prize.(Draws people to the event}
2.There will be excise tax and property taxes paid to Ruston.
3.Having someone who supports
the Arts living in Ruston is a good thing, and they have friends who may want to live in Ruston.

Hope you find this information helpful.

I can see how the raffle helps the Arts, but it is the Arts in Tacoma that are getting the funds from this raffle, not Ruston.

There are already people in Ruston who support the arts and have for many years, and I don't see the results for Ruston anywhere; so I'm not sure I agree with you entirely.

I will hope for the best, though.
