WILMINGTON â A Jeep owned by a local man and avid snowboarder, who volunteered in emergency services and tragically died from cancer at a young age, was raffled off and raked in lots of money for two great causes.
More than $45,000 was raised altogether, and it will be split evenly between the Guy Hawkins Cancer Relief Fund, which helps families in the valley with cancer treatment-related expenses, and the Old School Community Center in Wilmington.
Old School Enrichment Council member Janet Boyd recalled the effort beginning around February or March.
âIt was a little slow getting started but everyone told us what a wonderful opportunity it was because it was a unique vehicle,â she said, adding that only 1,500 were made.
