Jason Vincent, Cavour, S.D., won the top prize: a 2016 Camaro Pace Car and $200 cash drawings at every race this year. The $11,000 proceeds benefited JRMC\u2019s Home, Health and Hospice.<\/p>\n<p>Jamestown Speedway owner Keith Veil said the idea of raffling off a Camaro occurred to him one day while driving home from work.<\/p>\n<p>Veil says, \u201cInitially I didn\u2019t even think about the idea of a Camaro, I just wanted to create awareness about Hospice care and the great things they do.\u201d \u00a0Although Veil had always been aware of hospice care, he found a new appreciation for it when his close friend and co-worker\u2019s dad benefitted from it.<\/p>\n<p>Veil adds, \u201cI have a huge respect for hospice and what it provides for its patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hospice provides end-of-life care to individuals and families. Those services include nursing, social work, counseling, pastoral services and bereavement care.<\/p>\n<p>To raffle the Camaro, Veil partnered with Jeff Wilhelm, owner or Don Wilhelm Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Veil says \u201cDon Wilhelm was great about making this idea a reality. Once I contacted owner Jeff Wilhelm about the idea of a Camaro he was great about making that a possibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raffle proceeds will benefit JRMC Foundation for JRMC Home Health &amp; Hospice programs. The funds will help provide hotel and gas gift cards to assist families while traveling to see loved ones. Funds will also help purchase special medical equipment.<\/p>\n<p>JRMC\u2019s Lisa Jackson adds, \u201cOur work is only possible with support from our community. Thank you to this team who organized the raffle and everyone who purchased and helped sell tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown (CSi-JRMC) \u00a0Local groups presented Jamestown Regional Medical Center Hospice a special gift Tuesday night &#8212; funds to help continue its service to the community.
