The Greene County Knights of Columbus, Council 13808, kicked off its annual charity raffle on Aug. 1, to support local charities in Greene, Putnam and Hancock counties. This year marks the ninth year for the charity raffle with more than $230,000 raised in support of various charities in the tri-county area. Jimmy Britt Chevrolet/Buick/GMC will be the raffle presenting sponsor. The grand prize is $12,000 toward a two-year vehicle lease from any Jimmy Britt Dealership or $10,000 cash. There are also six (6) additional prizes of $200 cash and three (3) non-cash prizes valued at over $300 each. With only 350 tickets being sold, the odds of winning are excellent.
