A maximum of 3,000 raffle tickets will be sold at $100 each with no limit to the number that may be purchased per person. “We deeply appreciate Porsche Cars North America for providing this opportunity for people to show their support of Lung Cancer Research as proceeds from the raffle will go directly to the *Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation,” said event organizer Steve Heinrichs. “And a chance to win the best open-top sports car in the world is enticing to say the least,” he added.
