Tickets for the Dave Sherwood Memorial Scholarship Elk Hunt Raffle are on sale until July 27 at select outlets across Lewis and Thurston counties.
Raffle tickets are $25. The winner will be allowed to hunt for a big bull elk (minimum three-point) on TransAlta Centralia land. The hunt is a modern rifle hunt set for opening weekend, Nov. 5-6.
The winner will be drawn and notified on Aug. 1.
The winner is responsible for buying a Washington westside modern firearm hunting license and permit, according to Centralia College. A TransAlta representative will accompany the winner during the hunt.
The raffle and elk hunt are in honor of Dave Sherwood, who died from an accident while hunting for elk near Mount St. Helens in 2011.
“He was a popular and respected manager at the Centralia TransAlta plant,” said Centralia College in a news release.
All proceeds from the raffle go toward a Centralia College scholarship in Dave Sherwood’s name.
Since 2012, the raffle has raised more than $47,000 for student scholarships to Centralia Community College, according to a news release.
