SANTE FE, N.M. – Del Norte Credit Union and the Española YMCA Teen Center announced their joint effort in hosting a Lowrider Charitable Raffle to support youth in Española.
From now until the Española Centennial Celebration on September 28, people across the state can purchase raffle tickets for $50 online or at any Del Norte Credit Union branch to win a 1963 Chevy Impala. All proceeds will go directly to the Española YMCA Teen Center to support their efforts of providing educational programs, recreational activities, and a safe environment for teens across Española and other surrounding communities.
The vehicle recently underwent extensive updates at the Good Times Car Club, including body work and a new paint job. Del Norte Credit Union has chronicled the car’s exciting transformation on their social media and website.
