West Palm Beach, FL — Individuals and organizations are invited to participate in a raffle to help support Inspirit, a Palm Beach County non-profit that brings the gift of music to people who are suffering or isolated from society.  The grand prize is a Baldwin BJ-120 upright piano with a retail value of $7985.   Tickets are $100 each, and only 88 will be sold.   The raffle drawing will be held at Chafin Music Center in Lake Worth on December 11th at 6:00.  The winner will be notified (if not present) the following day on December 12th.

To purchase tickets for yourself or in honor of your local organization of choice visit the Inspirit website at www.inspiritlive.org or contact Ginny Meredith at 561-670-4537.  The last day to purchase is December 10.

Inspirit is a Palm Beach County non-profit that sends talented musicians to nursing homes, cancer care facilities, children’s hospitals and other places to help lift the spirits of those they serve.

The organization was founded in 2001 by Lake Worth resident Ginny Meredith, who witnessed firsthand the healing power of music when she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer.  “I found that the chemo was almost worse than the cancer,” recalls Meredith. “A friend made a tape for me, with some of my favorite songs, and I listened with headphones the next time I went in for treatment; and everything just seemed better somehow.” With that experience, the idea behind Inspirit was born.

NO ROOM FOR A PIANO? NO PROBLEM!

If an individual doesn’t have room for a piano, or perhaps already owns one, they can purchase a raffle ticket in the name of their church, local school or favorite charity. “It’s a beautiful instrument,” says Meredith, “and would make a wonderful addition to any home, church, charity or school.”

The raffle drawing will be held at Chafin Music Center in Lake Worth on December 11th at 6:00.  The winner will be notified (if not present) the following day on December 12th.
