The Seminole High School Warhawk Band in the Tampa Bay area of Florida is raffling off a 2012 MINI Cooper Baker Street Special Edition for $25 a ticket to raise money for their trip to the Tournament of Roses Parade this January. Only 4,000 tickets will be sold which means you have a 1/4000 chance of winning. The drawing will be held at their annual Sound Spectacular marching band competition on Oct. 6 at the school. You DO NOT have to be present to win.

For those who don't know, I'm now a Motoring Advisor at MINI of Wesley Chapel in Tampa Bay. The school is my Alma Mater so I am working with them to provide the MINI through the dealership.

The MINI is an automatic Cooper Hardtop, Baker Street Edition with Premium Package and Harman-Kardon. The color is Rooftop Grey which is only available on the Baker Street. MSRP is $26,200. It's a sweet little MINI, and while I know many of you would prefer that it was a manual, we configured it with the auto tranny to appeal to a larger audience and sell more tickets. If you win you could always sell it or arrange to trade it for something else.

To get tickets, please mail me a check made out to The Kiwanis Club of Seminole. Tickets are $25 each. I will enter your tickets in the drawing and return your ticket stubs vial U.S. mail. If you can, please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope or if not, I'll pay the postage! Please mail your check to me at:
