Raffle to benefit Crystal Valley Care Fund

This year the Crystal Valley Care Fund (CVCF) is celebrating 33 years of service to the Oceana community. This all-volunteer organization raises funds for the express purpose of sharing them with the community.
Their current fundraiser is a Raffle Contest running from now until Friday, Nov. 28, 2025. Tickets are available for $1 each and give purchasers a chance to win one of three cash prizes: first is $1,000, second is $500 and third is $250.
The winning tickets will be drawn on the Hart Commons following the Christmas Parade in downtown Hart. Winners need not be present to win. 
Tickets are available for purchase from any board member until Nov. 28.
“The money raised enables the CVCF to help numerous families in Oceana County whose lives have been disrupted due to life-threatening illness or house fire. The CVCF is a Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization whose sole purpose is to help our friends, neighbors and customers who live in Oceana County,” states their website. 
Current board members include President Judy Kokx; Vice-President Deborah Mitteer; Treasurer Sandy Mitteer; Secretary, Deb Greiner, and board members Jennifer Copenhaver, Ruth Fleming, Andrea Fletcher, Lindsey Merten, Kathleen Plaunt and Denise Schultema.
Board meetings are the fourth Monday of every month at 7 p.m. in the Crystal Valley Town Hall.
