Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s novel fundraising approach has paid off in a big way for grand prize winner Damon Barone and for the school’s academic, arts and athletics programs. Mr. Barone, who has a nephew at CCA, had purchased two tickets for the raffle. “I really had no expectations of winning the grand prize, but wanted to support my nephew’s education. I knew the money was going to a good cause so it really was a win-win situation,” he said.
