THE winner of the 2014 Thurrock Community Chest Grand Draw Dean Fackerell and his wife Kelly were given the keys to their brand new Vauxhall Adam by Cllr Steve Liddiard the Mayor of Thurrock at Tony Levoi’s Lakeside who generously donated the car as first prize for the draw.
The winning ticket was picked at this year’s Orsett Show by the Mayor and when Dean received the call from the Mayor telling him of his win his initial reaction was one of disbelief and he promptly hung up. When the Mayor phoned back a few moments later Dean’s wife Kelly answered the phone and after a short conversation the reality of the moment sunk in and Kelly & Dean couldn’t believe their luck.
Dean who bought his winning ticket from MIND where he is a volunteer said “MIND have helped me through some difficult times and I am now able to enjoy life with my family and friends, winning this car is an added bonus and I am very thankful for how things have turned out” Thurrock MIND only started selling TCC tickets in June and their Chair David Nobel said he was pleased that the organisation had sold the winning ticket and that one of their ex clients who now volunteers had won. Thurrock MIND had also received part of the money they raised by selling the tickets to help support their organisation.
Simon Railton from Tony Levoi’s said the reaction from the winners when they arrive at our Lakeside Showroom to pick up the car is always heart-warming, as this is when the reality of their win hits home. We are proud to be associated with Thurrock Community Chest and the good work they do in supporting the smaller Thurrock based community groups and St Luke’s Hospice and for this reason we are donating a Vauxhall Adam for the TCC 2015 Grand Draw.
The 2015 Grand Draw Tickets are on sale now so if you want to be in with a chance to win a brand new Vauxhall Adam in 2015 look out for the tickets. If you are a small community group based in Thurrock and want to find out how you could benefit from selling TCC tickets contact Terry Piccolo on 01375 389892 for more information.
