The CCHS 2009 $1000.00 cash Raffle Winner is Dylan Musiedlak!

Dylan came to CCHS to donate $20 of his own money. He decided to purchase raffle tickets and try his luck at winning $1000. Although, he said he would rather win a cat. Dylan was our lucky $1000 raffle winner. He has also decided to only take $800 of the $1000 and donate $200 back to CCHS for the care of the animals. Thank you very much Dylan for your generosity! Thank you to everyone who supported this years raffle.
