Home Health Quilt Raffle

The Home Health quilters masterpiece for this year’s Quilt Raffle will have a public debut Thursday, June 19 at the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Mixer at Union Bank, sponsor of this year’s Quilt. The queen-sized quilt features a water-inspired design and batik fabrics and wave pattern in the quilting. The design, “Tropical Waves,” was created in response to this year’s Blue Jean Ball theme, “Blue Jeans in Paradise.”

Raffle tickets are 6 for $5 of $1 each and will be for sale at Union Bank during the Chamber Mixer. The quilt will remain at the bank, the sponsor for this year’s Quilt Raffle, on weekdays until July 3. Tickets will be sold at the Bank.

The quilt will tour the many events around Franklin County this summer and early fall, with many chances for you to buy tickets:

· June 29, Fairfax Pie and Ice Cream Social

· July 5, Richford Farmers’ Market, Barbecue and Parade

You can also buy quilt raffle tickets at the Agency’s St. Albans office, 3 Home Health Circle, or online at www.fchha.org. There is a link on the home page to buy raffle tickets. The winning ticket will be drawn at the Blue Jean Ball on Saturday, October 25, at the American Legion. The winner does not have to be present to win.

Tickets are also on sale for the Blue Jean Ball for $50 or $400 for a table of eight. Proceeds from the Ball and the Quilt Raffle help ensure that all Franklin County residents, of all ages, receive the medical home health care they need, regardless of their ability to pay. Each year, the Agency provides $450,000 in charity and uncompensated care to our community. Fundraisers such as the Quilt Raffle and Ball, as well as Town allocations and gifts to the annual appeal, help meet this funding gap.
