The Scholarship Fund of Concord and Carlisle is once again helping to cheer on the Concord-Carlisle High School football team by sponsoring a 50/50 raffle. The Scholarship Fund will sell tickets at the Patriots’ October 21 football game against the Bedford Buccaneers, 7:00 pm at Memorial Stadium.  

The drawing will be at halftime, and the winning ticket holder will receive half of the raffle sales and all net proceeds will be used by The Scholarship Fund to support need-based college scholarships for students who live in or have graduated from secondary school in Concord or Carlisle.  The Scholarship Fund will also be designating the donations from the raffle to The Charles A. Robichaud Scholarship Fund, the Named Fund created by the Robichaud family to honor longtime CCHS football coach and science teacher Al Robichaud.  

Travis Minor, Chair of The Scholarship Fund says of the event, “We are thrilled to be back in Memorial Stadium, and it is especially meaningful for us to be honoring Al Robichaud, a wonderful coach and teacher who gave so much to the Concord and Carlisle communities.  We hope the 50/50 raffle brings a little extra excitement to a terrific night.”  In 2022, The Scholarship Fund awarded almost $400,000 in scholarships to students from Concord, Carlisle, and Boston; in the last 56 years, more than $3 million dollars has been awarded to over 1400 students. 

Raffle pricing will be $1 for 1 ticket, $5 for 6 tickets and $10 for 15 tickets. For additional details about the raffle, contact Joe Laurin, Trustee of The Scholarship Fund, at info@ccscholarshipfund.org.
