The Reverse Raffle-Totally 80s Party included entertainment, food, drinks and games.

“The Reverse Raffle was so much fun and a great success,” said Sandy Selvy-Mullis, Stanly County Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “We appreciate everyone who bought a ticket, donated items, the sponsors and all our hard working volunteers.”

The Reverse Raffle is a partnership between the Stanly County Chamber of Commerce and the Albemarle Rotary Club.

The funds generated from the raffle will be used to help provide dictionaries to third graders in Stanly County, community grants and programs provided by the Chamber and Rotary Club.

The evening’s activities concluded with the Reverse Raffle prizes being awarded, including $500 to Joseph Burroughs, $1,000 to Gary Lowder and $3,000 to Brian Freeman.
