The Parkland College Foundation is raffling off a 2009 Saturn Sky roadster, valued at $28,000 from Worden-Martin, to support the new immersive video digital equipment for the William M. Staerkel Planetarium.

Only 500 tickets will be sold at $100.00 each and the entire ticket price will be used to turn the Planetarium into a one-of-a-kind experience in Central Illinois.

To purchase a ticket online, visit https://pcweb.parkland.edu/foundation/donation.aspx.  The winning ticket will be drawn at the 11th Annual Parkland Colelge Foundation Gala on Friday, October 24, 2008 at the Round Barn Banquet Center in Champaign, Illinois, and the ticket-holder doesn not need to be present to win.  For more information or to reserve a Gala ticket today, call 217.351.2464.  All proceeds from the Gala event support Parkland College Scholarships.
