AmberWatch Foundation launches charity raffle to fund FREE AmberWatch Alert Public Service

Seal Beach, CA (October 04, 2012) - The AmberWatch Foundation officially launched its Charity Raffle today to fund the expansion of its AmberWatch Alert Child-Predator Activity Alert service, which will now include all live AMBER Alerts and all active AMBER Alerts.   Concurrent with the launch of this all-new non-profit raffle, Google announced that it has awarded a generous Google Grant to the AmberWatch Foundation.  Google is also offering a helping hand to raffle participants, as the use of Google Checkout and Google Wallet services will soon be making buying AmberWatch Foundation raffle tickets easier than ever before.

Tickets for this exciting raffle are now on sale at http://raffle.amberwatchfoundation.org .

The raffle’s grand prize is a $250,000 CASH DOWN PAYMENT ON A NEW DREAM HOME, and because only 300,000 raffle tickets will be sold, the chances of winning are fantastic.  And the odds of winning tip even more in the favor of those who buy raffle tickets right away, as there are many early-bird prizes to be given away, including over 200 gift cards worth between $50 to $200 cash – all awarded as soon as only 5,000 tickets are sold.  Other early-bird prizes include 10 iPads to be awarded at 10,000 tickets sold, a Sea-Doo GTI Watercraft at 40,000 tickets sold, and a $40,000 Orange County Chopper motorcycle awarded at 200,000 tickets sold.

AmberWatch Foundation has teamed up with Charideem to bring this raffle to the public.  “Charideem’s involvement with and commitment to this raffle launch has been outstanding,” says Keith Jarrett, CEO and Founder of AmberWatch Foundation. “We are excited to help the AmberWatch Foundation with its mission to keep kids safe through this raffle,” says Frank Spadaro, Charideem’s President and CEO.  

Presently, over 2.4 million subscribers receive AmberWatch Alerts nationwide, but with this 501(c)(3) raffle, AmberWatch Foundation aims to double that number.   AmberWatch Foundation is urging all people who want to strengthen child safety to buy at least one raffle ticket.  “Sign up at http://www.AmberWatchAlert.org , and for everyone and anyone who cares about kids, please buy a raffle ticket.  Not only will some lucky people win great prizes, but the AmberWatch Foundation will also have the funds it needs to increase the number of people who are aware of and concerned about what is occurring in their neighborhood through the AmberWatch Alert system,” adds Jarrett.
