Announcing the Winner of the Car Give-A-Way

United Way of Randolph County celebrated its first car give-away on Wednesday, December 13 at 11:00 am at Asheboro Honda/Asheboro Nissan. The car give-away promotion was designed to help met the goal of $1.5 million. Individuals that donated $100 or more to the campaign were encouraged to register for the car drawing.

Five finalists from left to right: Johnse Brantley of Bank of the Carolinas, Kaye Atwood of Randolph County Dept of Social Services, Rosemary Bray of Klaussner Furniture Industries, Wendy Moody of Arrow International, and Tiffianie Leonard of First National Bank stand in front of the Nissan Versa donated by Dan Lackey and the employees of Asheboro Honda and Asheboro Nissan.

At the celebration, each finalist was given a key. The key that opened the car door belonged to Rosemary Bray. She plans on visiting the dealership this evening with her family to decide between the Honda Fit or Nissan Versa. This promotion was designed to encourage donors to increase their donations. “We think it increased interests and allowed us to reach some donors that had never given to the United Way campaign”, says Don Allred Campaign Chair for United Way of Randolph County. “We are happy to announce that we are at 82% of our goal and I’m confident that the citizens of Randolph County will step up and help us reach our goal before the end of this year. All we need is for 3,400 individuals to donate $50 each.”
