The raffle is limited to 2,700 tickets. If at least 1,000 tickets are not sold, the raffle will convert to a 50/50 drawing. All tickets include a $20 discount for services at Haddad Subaru.

 

"Well, I said it last year, we will sell out," said Chris Kramek, General Manager and Vice President of Haddad Subaru. Guess what? We did. This year won't be any different. Supporting this cause is a Berkshire mainstay and an event everyone looks for annually. I believe this will be our best year ever! The vehicles are of the highest value, especially the hybrid models. Come support and give yourself a great chance to win the Berkshires' most popular vehicle, a new Subaru."

 

"We're excited to collaborate with Haddad Subaru again this year for this thrilling opportunity for the community and the animals," said John Perreault, Executive Director of Berkshire Humane Society. "People love this raffle. It's our biggest fundraiser and a great way of helping local animals and disadvantaged animal lovers while having the dream of scoring a brand-new Subaru. Last year's winner lived less than two miles from our shelter in Pittsfield."

 

Berkshire Humane Society has an annual budget of more than $3 million, touching the lives of approximately 16,500 animals each year through adoption and surrender, medical care, spay/neuters, vaccine clinics, a Wellness Center, Pet Food Bank and Family Dog School. The Society's education programs reach hundreds of school children annually and a SafePet Program provides free, temporary pet care for people in crisis.

 

"Companion animals and their people in our community depend on you," said Perreault. All proceeds benefit animal shelter services and programs.
