Grill Raffle Benefiting PFRA Scholarship Fund

By   August 29, 2018

Congratulations Donald “J.D.” Sherer from Station 11, winner of the Big Green Egg!  The drawing was held on Monday evening at 7pm, and JD’s name was selected by random draw after three random “e-shuffles”.

PFRA sends a huge THANK YOU to everyone who purchased a ticket, and to especially to Andy Feekes for his generous donation. Thanks to all of you, the PFRA Scholarship Program received just over $2100 to be awarded to our future scholarship recipients!


Update 10/1/18 16:20 – Auction has ended!


Attention Plano firefighters – who wants to win a Big Green Egg grill?  Thanks to a special donor, PFRA is raffling off a Big Green Egg with all ticket sales benefiting the PFRA Scholarship Program. Raffle tickets are $20 each and there are only 150 tickets available. When all the tickets are sold, we will hold the drawing for the winner.  You can purchase extra tickets to increase your chances to win! Ticket purchases are available online here: <link removed, auction has ended>

See table below for tickets already purchased.

Founded in 2003, the PFRA Scholarship Program has provided collegiate scholarships to the sons and daughters of the employees of Plano Fire-Rescue for the past fifteen years. Although our goal is to award three $1000 scholarships annually, the actual number of scholarships and amount of each varies depending upon available funds each year. This Big Green Egg raffle event will help increase our total scholarship budget for 2019 and possibly 2020.

Thank you for your support!
