Congregation B’nai Amoona has launched its first Car Raffle and Automotive Referral Program fundraiser. It worked with the Lou Fusz Automotive Network’s 14 Lou Fusz dealerships in the greater St. Louis area to raise funds for the current fiscal year.

“We are excited at the prospect of generating unique and innovative revenue streams for B’nai Amoona,” said Cindy Schuval, president of the synagogue.  “With the help of our entire B’nai Amoona family and the Lou Fusz Automotive Network, these two programs could combine for the largest fundraiser we’ve undertaken in many years.”

Each B’nai Amoona member family is being asked to sell car raffle tickets for $10 each.  The tickets, which can be purchased by anyone, afford each holder the chance to win a $20,000 voucher toward the purchase of their car of choice at any of the Lou Fusz dealerships.  In lieu of the $20,000 cash voucher, the car raffle winner may take up to a $15,000 cash prize.

The second aspect of the fundraiser is an automotive referral program.  As part of this effort, anyone interested in buying a car over the next 11 months can sign up on the B’nai Amoona website and receive Lou Fusz employee pricing and special concierge service from the participating dealership.  For each car sold via this marketing effort, B’nai Amoona receives a referral bonus. 

Anyone interested in shopping for a new or pre-owned vehicle in the B’nai Amoona car raffle and automotive referral programs, should visit the congregation’s website at www.bnaiamoona.com for a link to more information.  Raffle tickets may also be purchased by calling Barbara in the B’nai Amoona office at 314-576-9990, extension 126. 

For a direct link to a Lou Fusz concierge who will help prospective buyers through the automotive referral program process, individuals may also call 1-800-631-1704 and mention you were referred by B’nai Amoona.

The drawing for the car raffle will take place at the B’nai Amoona Purim Carnival in the congregation’s auditorium on Sunday, Feb. 23, and tickets will be sold until that date. The automotive referral program ends Oct. 31.
