LAKE CHARLES – More than $41,000 was raised for the Abrazando Cristo Mission Program with its annual Big Cash Giveaway fundraiser which culminated last Sunday at St. Henry Catholic Church, according to Father Daniel Torres.
“We want to thank the 479 ticketholders for their generosity,” Father Torres said. “The mission to Nicaragua, which is set for July 3-11, will benefit greatly from the $41,400 in profit.”
The $5,000 first prize was won by David S., ticket 0265, while the $1,000 second prize went to Keith T., ticket 0392; and the $500 third prize was won by Carrol R., ticket 0109.
Father Torres also noted that the recent Johnnie Thibodeaux Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament raised $15,000 for the Abrazando Cristo program and the San Cristobal Boys Home in Managua, Nicaragua.
“May God bless you all for your financial and prayerful support for the mission,” Father Torres said.
