 Hey everyone, you're about to watch a video that's going to get thousands of views. Very cool, but your ad needs to be right here. Give me a call. While shopping for gifts this holiday season, consider giving the gift of hope with a Kentucky State Police Trooper Island Camp Raffle ticket. The tickets are $10 and will enter you into a drawing for a 2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible or a $50,000 cash prize. Every year we wrap off a vehicle for Trooper Island. The island is strictly funded on events such as this, fundraisers and donations from the public. There's no taxpayer dollars to go to fund the island and it costs around $300 per kid to be able to take a kid to the island. So without fundraisers like this, it wouldn't be possible to even have the island. So we used to ask, you know, if you're interested, come down. You can purchase a ticket at post nine or you can follow the Trooper Common Facebook page. I'll be posting on there different events I'll be going to such as Healy Days. Or, you know, sometimes we'll have what we call a pop-up sale where we'll set up in front of Walmart for the day and just kind of sell tickets. Trooper Island's Camp's annual vehicle raffle is the largest fundraiser of the year and tickets are available on the Trooper Island website or any KSP post throughout the state. It's just a great program. You know, kids are going down that may not be able to afford to go on vacation or, you know, may not get to experience some kind of summer camp and we're making sure that those are the kids we're taking. So they get to go down for the week, they sleep down there, you know, they eat really good. It's just a really good experience for them. You know, kids, I know when they go back to school after the summer, most teachers hit them with a, tell me about your summer and a strata paper or whatever and we just want to make sure that every kid has some kind of experience to talk about. So if they weren't able to go on vacation, this is an experience that they will stick with them for a lifetime. They're able to write down and tell their friends about. To purchase the ticket, go to your local KSP post or go to KentuckyStatePolice.ky.gov backslash trooper-island. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
