The Rotary Club of Central Tortola is encouraging residents across the Virgin Islands to secure their raffle tickets as the organisation prepares to stage its second $1,000 early bird draw at the Cyril B. The upcoming drawing follows the success of the first early bird round held in late October, which saw Virgin Gorda resident Dale Wheatley walk away with the initial $1,000 cash prize.

Club officials highlighted that entering the early bird rounds offers multiple chances to win, as all drawn tickets are re-entered into the main pool for the ultimate grand prize drawing. The grand prize features a brand-new 2026 BAIC BJ40 Plus, made possible through partnerships with Tortola Auto Group and NAGICO Insurances.

Club President Nelcia St Jean expressed gratitude to the community for their ongoing enthusiasm and participation, emphasising the direct local impact of every ticket sold. Congratulating the first winner, President St Jean stated that every ticket purchased helps the club serve the community and make a meaningful difference.

She encouraged everyone to get their tickets ahead of the draw for a chance to win the $1,000 cash prize while staying in the running to drive away with the grand prize vehicle. Raffle tickets are priced at $10 each and can be purchased from Rotary Club of Central Tortola members as well as various participating business outlets throughout the territory.

On Tortola, tickets are available at Tortola Auto Group and CARQUEST at Slaney Point, The Original NY Pizza in Fish Bay, Mi Amor and House of Luxury at Pier Park, McW Todman & Co, Caribbean Cellars, 284 Sporting Goods, D'Brew Coffee Shop, and NAGICO Insurances on the Waterfront. On Virgin Gorda, residents can obtain tickets from CARQUEST and NAGICO Insurances.

The Rotary Club continues to play an active role in youth development, health initiatives, and community enhancement projects throughout the Virgin Islands, relying on fundraisers like this annual raffle to support its charitable work.
