COVE’S 2014 CASH RAFFLE & SILENT AUCTION WERE A SUCCESS!
Our second raffle is now behind us and we want to let you know that it and our concurrent silent auction were a success! Thanks to our members, volunteers, staff/board/committee members, friends, and families, both events worked well, and we raised over $5,300! That money will support COVE’s advocacy on behalf of elders – especially those who are economically disadvantaged, physically or mentally challenged, or geographically or socially isolated.
We thought you all would like to know who the winners were, so they are listed below. If you didn’t win a cash prize yourself, you helped COVE win!

It is very difficult to locate on-going grant or government funding for advocacy work. Because of this, COVE has become increasing reliant on memberships, donations, and fundraisers to keep our advocacy strong. Our 2015 individual and organizational membership drive will begin this spring. We are hopeful that our friends and members will help keep COVE strong.
Thank you again for participating in our raffle. It wouldn’t have been a success without your support!
