OSWEGO – Paula Distin of Fulton was recently announced as the winner of United Way of Greater Oswego County’s drawing for a stunning diamond ring courtesy of DuFore Jeweler’s in Oswego. The second prize winner of a $200 gift certificate was Kim McPherson of Oswego. A third prize was added to this year’s raffle that offered two general admission tickets to United Way of Oswego County’s 5th Annual Galentine’s Brunch, which was won by Lori Sawyer.
The 1.25-Carat total weight 14k white gold emerald shape ring, valued at $4,995, was generously donated by DuFore Jeweler’s in Oswego. The local business has been an strong supporter of United Way and wonderful community partner for many years, with the Christmas Eve raffle drawing serving as a longstanding tradition many locals look forward to.
United Way Executive Director Patrick Dewine said this year’s raffle generated an impressive amount in ticket sales, raising the highest amount in history, to support the United Way’s Annual Campaign.
“We cannot thank DuFore Jewelers enough for continuing to support United Way’s mission of ending hunger, building successful youth, and ensuring wellness throughout Oswego County,” said Dewine. “This partnership is truly a shining example of what can be accomplished when we live united.”
