Booster Club raffles off Jeep

Wes Estvold, a sixth grade teacher at Sisters Middle School, won a Jeep Cherokee in the Booster Club's Jeep raffle on Saturday, December 13.

Estvold's name was drawn during the varsity boys' basketball game against Marist High School, by a girls' basketball player from Marist.

The raffle for the jeep has been going on since the middle of September.

The 1988 Jeep was donated to the Booster Club by Sharon and Dick Mooney to raise money for the sports program at Sisters High School. Dick Mooney has often helped the golf program because it is not school funded.

Mooney wanted the money raised to go first to the golf program, and the rest divided among the other co-curricular activities.

Dave Quick and the Sisters High School Booster Club made the raffle possible. They could have sold the Jeep outright, but "we decided to do a raffle, just to make things interesting," said Quick.

The raffle was successful. Over 300 tickets were sold at $20 each or five for $100. The tickets sold equaled the value of the Jeep.
