The Chamber of Commerce of Newtown presents "The Great Newtown Shopping Spree Raffle," and will award three prizes in the amounts of $3,000, $1,500, and $500 to the lucky winners and at the same time support local businesses. Tickets are $20 each and the winners will be able to spend their winnings at Newtown businesses or nonprofits to pay a bill, receive a gift card, make a donation or open a line of credit. Winners can, for example, use the funds for a gym membership, an eye exam and new pair of glasses, grocery or retail purchases, joining the Community Center or paying for camp with the Parks & Rec Department, music lessons, home renovations, clothes, personal services, business equipment, even dental work or other medical needs — but checks distributed from the winners' balances will only be authorized for Newtown-based providers, businesses, or Chamber member companies located outside of Newtown. Tickets are on sale online only from May 19, 2021, through June 24, 2021, at 5:30 p.m. The drawing will be live-streamed on FACEBOOK LIVE at 6:00 p.m. on June 24, 2021.

"Building interest in shopping, eating out, and doing business locally is what the Chamber does, and the raffle will encourage everyone in the region to visit Newtown." Chamber Executive Director Helen Brickfield conceived the fundraiser and has plans for more exciting business programming and events in 2021. "Our goal is to use this raffle as a foundation to continue to infuse our local businesses with traffic and have some fun too! " Brickfield said. "Covid-19 hasn't changed the Chamber mission and we hope to be even stronger in the coming year." Winners must spend the winnings at Newtown businesses and nonprofits, which must have a tax ID, a Newtown address, or be a current Chamber member.
