WCEF Winter Raffle Raises More Than $8k to Support Woburn Schools

Thanks to the outstanding support of our community, WCEF’s 2nd Annual Winter Raffle was a tremendous success! This year’s Raffle featured 9 high-end and designer purses, 2 Woburn restaurant gift certificate packages, and a Lottery Tree, all sponsored or donated by the local community. The event raised more than $8,000 to support WCEF’s Educator Grants Program, which funds new innovative projects and programs in the Woburn Public Schools.

Harvey, Little Folks Day School, Robert E. & Karen Maguire, Rick Metters & Maura Embler, Don & Janet Queenin, and Rockland Trust Bank.
