Winner Andy Cumming, right, with Judy Rosenthal.

Two lucky House of Hope supporters will be taking a cruise thanks to having the winning ticket in a special drawing that raised $5,220 to help Martin County families in need.

In conjunction with its annual Meal or No Meal Community Awareness Dinner on Nov. 5, House of Hope offered a chance to win a seven-day cruise for two people on Holland America Line.

The winning ticket belonged to Hobe Sound resident Andy Cumming and the volunteer who helps event co-chairwoman Judy Rosenthal iron all the table linens each year for Meal or No Meal, which draws 200 or more attendees.  When Andy gave her donation to enter the drawing, she promised that she’d take Judy with her if she won. She’s holding true to her promise, and the two women are planning a trip for the springtime.

For a donation of $20 each or six for $100, entrants had a chance to win a cruise to Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada/New England. The cruise was donated by Holland America Line with special underwriting by Senior Home Companions.

House of Hope soon will be conducting another exciting fund-raiser: a drawing for a $2,000 travel voucher from Jensen Beach Travel Service. Tickets will be available in January, and the drawing will be held Feb. 11 at the Hearts for Hope Fashion Show, Luncheon and Auction at Mariner Sands Country Club. The prize once again will be underwritten by Senior Home Companions.
