The land being raffled

Vacant land in Colorado is something people dream about. This is our third land raffle, and this year we added the $10,000 cash prize for broader appeal.


LEADVILLE, Colo. (PRWEB)

St. Vincent Hospital Foundation is raffling a prize of residential land near Twin Lakes, Colorado or $10,000 in cash. The raffle is raising funds for new medical equipment, including a CT scanner, for St. Vincent Health’s brand new replacement hospital which will open this summer. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at ColoradoLandRush.com. The drawing will be held June 24, 2021.

Near Twin Lakes, the land being raffled is within a two-hour drive from Denver and a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Colorado Springs. The land is a forested lot in the Pan Ark subdivision near Twin Lakes Colo., at 795 Juniper Drive.

“Vacant land in Colorado is something people dream about,” says Robert Smith, board chairman of the St. Vincent Hospital Foundation. “This is our third land raffle, and this year we added the $10,000 cash prize for broader appeal.”

Twin Lakes is near world-class fishing, hiking, and popular hunting areas. Alpine skiing at Ski Cooper, Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, A-Basin, Loveland, Keystone and Monarch ski resorts is a one- to two-hour drive from the lot location.

Tickets are $75.00 for one, $195.00 for three and $300.00 for five chances, and no more than 7,000 tickets will be sold.

“I see it as a win-win, ticket holders will contribute to a good cause, supporting rural healthcare, and secure chances to win land in the heart of the Colorado Rockies or $10,000, cash.” says Steve Mercado, St. Vincent Hospital Foundation Director.
