LEBANON – About 500 tickets have been sold already for the pink UTV Mechron being raffled off by Kioti tractor and Batchelder Sales to support a local breast cancer outreach program.

100 percent of the ticket sales will be donated to “My Breast Cancer Support,”

a local organization that also covers the Greater Seacoast area of Maine and New Hampshire.

The goal of this 501(c) 3 non-profit organization is to provide support to families who “fall through the cracks.”

For more information, go to http://mbreastcancersupport.org. The organization delivers tangible, practical and emotional support to breast cancer patients on their individual paths to wellness and healing.

Tickets sales for the Mechron have been brisk, according to Becky Batchelder. The cost is $10, and they are still available. The goal of the fund-raiser is to sell 1,000 tickets by the first week of October when the lucky winner will be drawn.

Tickets are available at Batchelder Sales on Route 202 in South Lebanon. Contact info@mybreastcancersupport.org for other ticket locations.
