Horizon Foundation 2025 Truck Raffle Winner
Ticket 0283

On 13 February 2025 at Miracle Toyota/Murphy Auto Group, the last of more than 1300 tickets were pulled in this year’s Horizon Foundation/Rotary Club of Augusta Signature Fundraiser.

This year’s winner of the beautiful, Ram Big Horn 1500 Sports Truck—the last ticket pulled.  The lucky winner was Ms. Alease Cherry, the owner of ticket 0283.  She was called and given the good news.  She rendered a happy, spontaneous response of joy and disbelief which was captured on the 6 pm news of our media sponsor WJBF Channel 6 of Augusta. 

It was an anointed time of great joy and appreciation shared by all present including members of the Rotary Club of Augusta who were co-participants.  De Pierce, CEO of Horizon and I are proud Rotarians and we share this raffle proceeds to fund Rotary of Augusta’s Signature Fundraiser Recipient. 

This year, $25,000 from the Rotary Club of Augusta will go to GAP Ministries which does yeoman efforts in Augusta and surrounding area, helping fellow citizens with tangible economic deficits who are in need of a hand up. 

Members of Rotary, GAP Ministries and many others in the community were there at Miracle Toyota/Murphy Auto Group to share in Ms. Cherry’s good fortune.  

Congratulations to Ms. Alease Cherry who will claim her new RAM Big Horn 1500 Sports Truck.  Thanks to all who donated to Horizon Foundation through their ticket purchases.  Thanks also to our tremendous supporters and sponsors—Mike Murphy/Austin Steed of Murphy Auto Group and to WJBF Channel 6, our tremendous media sponsor.

Horror Here; Horror There. Help Wanted. Help Needed

These are tough times which make us tougher as they bring out the resourcefulness that we may not have known we had.  Hurricane Helene and it’s indescribable damage in our beautiful Augusta and beyond.  Small towns and larger cities the devastation was an equal opportunity assailant. 

The beautiful enclave of Asheville—ravished beyond words, thoughts or comprehension.  I had been there once spending a special weekend with Augusta kids there for a religious camp a short distance away in the mountains.  I wonder about the status of the camp as I have seen with horror what Helene did to the beautiful respite of artistic, creative, delicious, classic, modern hospitable, incomparable city of Asheville. 

I miss my Augusta as well as that part of Asheville that became a permanent part of me after my one and only visit.  Prayers up and Blessings down for them and theirs—including newbie –Me.  The spirit of the people who made and grew such cities remain and with our help will spawn their anointed resurgence. 

Even as we witness the horror of California.  I spent one great week there in July of 1976.  I was doing my sentinel cardiology rotation at the Presidio of San Francisco at now defunct Letterman Army Medical Center.  That summer was part of the solidification of my entry into Cardiology.  On 4th of July weekend, I flew to LA to visit family.  I took time out driving on self-explore.   Part of it took me to Pacific Palisades and Thousand Oaks, exquisitely beautiful beyond my southern natural flair.  To see it televised in blasphemous flames—unrepentant and resolved to ravage and claim its coastal beauty and make its habitants suddenly homeless its ashen, charred aftermath.  My heart broke again as with Augusta and Ashville. 

Survival is my choice.  I rebuild as I must in my beautiful Augusta.  I do the Red Cross and Go Fund Me outreach for more personal support.  I know that I have to still do and be in service.  I can’t do it all but I can—I MUST do something as Horizon moves to purpose –to improve the health, to help, to provide hope, to heal and to honor those who do.  Much work to do at, at home and thousands of miles away.  We must not be deterred.  Much, much to do.
