HRCA Raffles A Motorbike at First Sunday 

Representatives of Haw River Christian Academy conducted the official drawing 

for the winner of a 2008 Honda youngsters motorcycle, raffled at the end of First 

Sunday on December 7.  The bike was one of two, each valued at $1700.00, 

donated to the school this Fall by a Chatham County family.  

Drew Whitehead, a 5-year old kindergarten student at the school, was the lucky 

winner.    All ticket sale proceeds will go directly to the school, which as a private 

school depends solely on tuition and money raised through donations and 

fundraising activities. 

The school’s fundraising committee decided to begin raffling one of the bikes in 

early November, with the drawing date set on the same day as Pittsboro’s 

Christmas parade and First Sunday.  The bike drew a lot of attention as it was 

displayed during the street parade on the school’s decorated trailer surrounded 

by several students.  No plans have been made for the second donated bike yet.
