We recently joined up with other dealers and Hobie corporate to support the relief efforts for Ukraine. We ponied up a new 2022 Compass in Seagrass Green, custom wrapped with the Ukrainian coat of arms pattern, and put it up for a raffle. Hobie corporate paid for all the administrative expenses associated with the drawing. That meant a full 100% of the tens of thousands of dollars in raffle tickets purchased nationwide went to Revived Soldiers Ukraine, a Ukrainian charity dedicated to providing aid to the Ukrainian people and medical rehabilitation of their soldiers.
The random drawings were held on behalf of all participating dealers recently and our local winner was David Futcher. By happenstance David has been a long-time customer of ours and says he was glad to have contributed to the worthwhile cause whether he had won or not. But adding another Hobie to his fleet at home was certainly sweet!
Our thanks go out to David and the many others who contributed to this important cause. We know the funds will be providing critical comfort and relief for those impacted by the war in Ukraine.
