Crazy Cash awards prizes

The Crazy Ca$h raffle looked a bit different this year, but there are still many prizes to be awarded.

When the COVID-19 crisis ended up causing the annual Crazy Ca$h Night to be cancelled in March, the organizers gave ticket holders a choice: request a refund, or stay in and be part of a drawing that would be held from among those ticket holders who decided to remain “in the game.”

A majority of those who held tickets stayed on to test their luck. Winners of the donated prizes were drawn early in April and notified; however, due to social isolation and Stay Home guidelines, the school is still holding on to a good many prizes. Jenny Jones, whose office is located at Riverside Intermediate School (710 E. Main), will hold special hours on May 6, where the prizes will be onsite and can be picked up from 8 am-3 pm. Use the buzzer at the main entrance to Riverside and people will be admitted one at a time. Hand sanitizer will be provided.

If you can’t make it during those hours, please email jjones@mcs.k12.mi.us to make arrangements to claim your prize. when the ban is lifted!
