Raffle helps Children’s Museum

The Anthony Law Firm PLLC kicked off the season of giving by donating a Nintendo Wii game system to the Stillwater Children’s Museum for a raffle.

“All proceeds from this raffle will benefit the SCM, which plans to open its doors in 2010,” said Luke Anthony, Anthony Law Firm PLLC and Stillwater Children’s Museum board member. “I am very excited about the hands-on educational opportunities that the museum will offer the children of Stillwater, including my own.”

The SCM advertised the raffle in local papers, at the museum information booth outside the Oklahoma State University Student Union Bookstore and on the museum’s web site . Word of the raffle spread statewide and one lucky winner was drawn Monday.

“Anthony’s very generous donation has not only raised dollars for the museum but also increased community awareness and involvement,” said SCM Executive Director Ruth Cavins.

The drawing was held outside the former Katz building, which will be the museum’s permanent location after renovations are complete.

The lucky winner, Brenda Nipp, a Stillwater resident, will receive a new Nintendo Wii console with one controller and five Wii sports games.
