SEYMOUR- Project Purple and the Team Carone Foundation are joining forces
in the name of pancreatic cancer research by raffling off a 2018 Polaris Ranger
900 in sage green with power steering.
Tickets to win the
utility vehicle which is valued at over $13,600 will be sold at $100 per entry
in order to benefit the Rick Carone Fellowship Grant for pancreatic cancer
research at the University of Chicago Medicine. Only 250 tickets are being
sold.
Rick Carone and his
family founded the Team Carone Foundation in 2014 after he was diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer. Carone passed away from the disease in June of 2017.
Dino Verrelli, founder
and CEO of Project Purple, knew Carone personally and often worked with Rick on
fundraising efforts, so it was only natural for Project Purple to join the Team
Carone Foundation in funding the RIck Carone Fellowship Grant.
“This is just another
way to fulfill Rick’s desire of shutting down cancer,” Verrelli said.
Those interested in
participating in the raffle can call the Project Purple Office at 203-714-6052
or email dino@projectpurple.org to purchase tickets
which are on sale now.
The winner will be drawn on September 22 at the Team Carone Foundation’s #Shutdowncancer Music Festival in McHenry, Illinois. However, Project Purple guarantees delivery to their office at 115 Main Street in Seymour, CT so there is no need to drive to Illinois.
