On the quest to reach the $1 million mark in 2016, Speedway Children's Charities is introducing the Speedway Children's Charities 50/50 Raffle presented by Grand Home Furnishings during the second half of the speedway year.

Tickets for the raffle go on sale today. Tickets are $10 per person with the winner receiving up to possibly $250,000. Guests can enter the raffle now at www.Bristol.SpeedwayCharities.org.

A 50/50 raffle is the sale of a raffle ticket with half the proceeds going to SCC and the other half of the sales going to the winner with the matching raffle numbers.

"The Speedway Children's Charities 50/50 Raffle presented by Grand Home Furnishings is going to help us push towards that $1 million goal," said Claudia Byrd, executive director of SCC. "We are getting closer and closer every year and with 2016 being Bristol's biggest year ever, it's the perfect time to reach that mark."

Full details on the 50/50 Raffle will be unveiled during a press conference on Saturday prior to qualifying at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals.
