REMSEN —  A raffle is being conducted by the team Penguin Platoon for a getaway to Niagara Falls, New York. The proceeds benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

The package includes a two-night stay in a Riverview room at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Niagara Falls, and two tickets for each of the following attractions; Cave of the Winds, Niagara Scenic Trolley, Aquarium of Niagara, and Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours. Transportation is not included.

The package is valid until Oct. 1, 2023 and is subject to availability.

Blackout dates may apply and lodging is only available Sunday through Thursday. Some of the attractions are seasonal and cannot be offered during off-season months.
The drawing will be held on Saturday, Nov. 5. Tickets are $5 each or three for $10. They are currently being sold at Adirondack Cheese store in Barneveld, Alder Creek Golf Course, Back of the Barn Antiques in Remsen, and Triple Effects Salon in Marcy. You can also contact team captain Carol Buczek (315-831-3052 and leave message) to purchase tickets using credit or debit card, Paypal, or check. Tickets will also be sold at the Remsen Barn Festival on Sept. 24 and 25 at the American Cancer Society tent.

Thanks to the generosity of Destination Niagara USA and PJ Green, 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to the American Cancer Society. Funds raised help with research to end breast cancer, as well as to support free patient services including a 24/7 Help Line (1-800-227-2345), and overnight stays at Hope Lodge.
