Update- September 22

Raffle winner, Jinny Neil, has let us know why she nominated Planned Parenthood of the Inland Northwest for the Raffle:

“I heard about the raffle in an email I received and signed PPINW up.  I think Planned Parenthood does great and much needed work for the community!  I have taken my family members there for years.  About the same time of the raffle I was told about a job opening there and now I even work for them.”

And what will Planned Parenthood of the Inland Northwest do with the $2,500 they won? Well Addy from PPINW has let us know:

“Planned Parenthood of the Inland Northwest will use this award to continue offering much needed clinical services, preventative education and provide key advocacy work.  PPINW is thankful to be the recipient of Pride Foundation’s Grand Prize of $2500 in The Raffle with a Twist. “
