Nearly $400,000 was raised after a raffle to help benefit Santa Cruz County schools was held over the weekend. The annual Drive for Schools fundraiser brought in 3-hundred and 84-thousand dollars for 67 public schools across Santa Cruz County. The winning raffle ticket, which was drawn by Santa Cruz resident Hillary Hirano, was for a Toyota Prius, Subaru Outback or $25,000 in cash. Each raffle ticket cost $5 with schools taking home all funds generated by their individual ticket sales.
