Ted Lindsay Foundation raffling off a 2017 Chrysler 300

(WJBK) - The Ted Lindsay Foundation does so much to raise awareness and help find a cure for autism. The foundation's next event is giving away a 2017 Chrysler 300.

The car will be given away through a raffle in honor of Joanne Lindsay, Ted's wife who recently passed away. The Dick Scott Automotive Group donated the car to the raffle.

Only 1,200 raffle tickets are available at $99 each. The ticket is tax deductible. Not only will the winner receive a brand new car, they will also receive $9,500 to help pay the state and federal taxes on the taxable value of the car.

Foundation president Lew LaPaugh joined us in studio to tell us more about the foundation and the raffle. You can hear from him in the video player above.

People interested in purchasing a tax deductible $99 ticket can go to www.tedlindsay.org or call Lew LaPaugh at 248 202 6194.

The drawing for the winner will be held on September 11, 2017 at the Ted Lindsay Foundation Golf Outing, held at the Detroit Golf Club.  The winner does not need to be present to win.
