For several school years, the Kalispell Automotive Group has donated a new vehicle to Kalispell Public Schools. This past year, Kalispell Toyota, Kalispell Ford and Kalispell VW once again opened up the raffle to all Flathead Valley public schools, with the option of winning a new Tundra, new F150, or $30,000 vehicle credit. Since its inception nine years ago, the $10 per ticket fundraiser has helped raise over $700,000, directly benefiting participating schools and allowing them to pay for supplies, equipment, and activities.

This year, participating schools raised over $105,000, with 100 percent of all proceeds go to these participating schools. Kalispell resident Jean Kelly was the grand prize winner at this year’s Crosstown Basketball game. She chose the credit and purchased a 2019 Ford Expedition.
