Orange Beach, Ala. - (OBA) - The FUNraiser may not be until July 22-23 at Pirate’s Cove, but tickets are available now for the drawdown to give away two 2022 Jeep Wranglers. Separate draw-downs for each Jeep will start at noon on Saturday and Sunday in the 17th annual event.

The FUNraiser features two days of food and fun, a local art walk, and live music from an eclectic assortment of local musicians beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday and 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The annual event raises around $60,000 for the non-profit, and, like the school itself, has continued to expand since 2009.

The highlight of the weekend will be the draw-downs for the 2023 Jeeps, provided by Gulf Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Foley, especially when negotiations start and tension mounts during the final few rounds. The tickets are officially on sale online only until Memorial Day weekend.

“We ran out early the past two years and wanted to give our sponsors and our long-time supporters a chance to get their tickets first,’’ High Hopes Director Rachael Mueller said.

High Hopes is the local nonprofit specializing in language development and social behavior therapy for school-age children. Founded in 2009, the school is located on the campus of Saint Benedict Catholic School in Elberta.
