Tickets are now on sale for $1 each from any member of the Relay For Life of Lycoming, Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder and Union counties or at Selinsgrove Ford.
To jump start the raffle, Charles Paige, owner of Selinsgrove Speedway, presented American Cancer Society's representative Amanda Alexander with a $1,000 check to buy the first 1,000 raffle tickets. Paige then gave one free ticket to each adult who attended the evening's races.
Not only did the Benners donate the Mustang, but Ford Motor Co. donated brand new wheels and tires on the car.
