E. Von McCants held the winning ticket for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mercer County’s 2025 Sweet Ride Car Raffle, presented in proud partnership with Haldeman Automotive and its four premier dealerships.
McCants exchanged her ticket for a stunning pearl white Lexus NX350 SUV. This year’s raffle offered participants the choice of six brand-new vehicles or a $35,000 car voucher. With only 999 tickets sold, this raffle gave participants some of the best odds of any major car raffle in the region.
Tickets were sold at $100 each, with all proceeds going to support Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mission of empowering local youth through meaningful, one-to-one mentoring relationships.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our community and our amazing partner, Haldeman Automotive, who helped make this fundraiser such a success,” said Stephanie Karpowicz, Executive Director of the Trenton-based chapter.
“Every ticket purchased is helping us make a lasting difference in a young person’s life.”
Scott Haldeman, owner of the automotive group, remarks, “We are honored to support such an outstanding organization that does amazing work in our community. We look forward to working with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Mercer County in the future.”
Big Brothers Big Sisters voiced thanks to all participants and extended congratulations to E. Von McCants on her sweet new ride. For more information about future raffles or how to support Big Brothers Big Sisters, visit www.MercerBBBS.org.
