From a press release:
The National Museum of Wildlife Art is raffling a 2009 MINI Cooper, valued at $20,000, at a price of $25 for a single ticket, or five for $100. Proceeds from the raffle will go toward supporting museum programs. Appropriately, the winner of the mini-vehicle will be drawn and announced on Friday, September 18, 2009 during the Western Visions and Miniatures Show. Ticket holders need not be present to win.
“We learned of other museums doing similar promotions to raise money for programming,” says Zeenie Scholz, Director of Marketing for the National Museum of Wildlife Art. “We thought it would be a fun way to involve the community in a fundraiser for the museum – and tying the MINI to our popular annual miniatures show was too good to pass up.”
Information about the raffle can be found on the museum’s website, www.wildlifeart.org. Tickets may be purchased at the museum or by telephone, contact Jennifer Lee at 307-732-5412.
A member of Museums West and accredited by the American Association of Museums, the National Museum of Wildlife Art offers an exciting calendar of exhibitions from its permanent collection and changing exhibitions from around the globe and has been featured in media including the L.A.
