The drawing took place on July 15 at County Wide Powersports. The funds generated through the raffle will be used to directly support and enhance the educational opportunities provided by Harbor Light Christian School.

“I would like to extend a heartfelt gratitude to all who helped further the mission of Harbor Light Christian School in this year’s side-by-side raffle," said Kelly Dutcher, administrator at Harbor Light Christian School.

Lacount said he has known Harbor Light's boys basketball coach, Jason Roussin, for some time and said he was happy to buy a raffle ticket.

"I honestly didn’t buy a raffle ticket hoping to win," he said. "I just wanted to contribute. When I got the call from Harbor Light and also a text message from Jason that I had won the side-by-side I was blown away. I couldn’t believe it. I have never won anything before that I can remember and this was right up my alley. It’s gonna be great for our family. My wife and 15-year-old son are really excited about it."
