We are so excited to kick off the Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 50/50 Raffle! 

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone who participated in last year’s raffle! It is due to this participation that the Chamber will be able to provide scholarships to six Worth County High School CTAE 2022 graduates! We would like to be able to provide even more scholarships via this year’s raffle! 

Just like last year’s raffle, we will be hoping to reach a goal of $20,000! That means one person will win up to $10,000! Our portion of the raffle will go to CTAE scholarships at Worth County High School and as well as going back into our Shop Local program! The tickets will be $20 apiece and will be sold from now to December 15th, 2022! The tickets can be purchased at the Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce! If you have any questions please call 229-776-7718 or email us at info@swcountychamber.com .
