What happens when a $20 raffle ticket turns into a brand-new SUV? For Ken Buckley, it started with a healthy dose of skepticism. When his wife, Bonnie, got the call that theyโd won our car raffle, her first reaction was to ask if it was a scam!
We are happy to confirm: It was 100% the real deal.
Over the course of six months, the Anah Temple Shriners traveled across Maine with a Hyundai Kona, selling tickets to support their vital mission. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, over 3,800 tickets were sold, raising a record-breaking $76,000 for Shriners Hospitals for Children.
The winners, Ken and Bonnie Buckley of Swanzey, NH, originally entered the raffle while camping in Trenton. While the grand prize was a 2026 Kona, the Buckleys were looking for something a bit larger for their lifestyle. Our team at Quirk Hyundai of Bangor was honored to help, applying the prize value toward a 2026 Hyundai Tucson.
On December 5th, the Buckleys officially picked up their new keys. We are so proud to partner with the Shriners to help provide life-changing medical care and transportation for children in need. Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket and helped make this possible!
