An organization that helps the needy in the area is getting some celebrity help with its latest fundraiser.
Retired wrestler Hulk Hogan and radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge are promoting a drawing for a 2011 Special Edition Chevrolet Camaro 1SS. The proceeds go to Unity in the Community.
This is the second year that Hogan and Bubba, along with Stingray Chevrolet, have teamed to give a helping hand to Unity. The car, autographed by Hogan, is worth $44,000.
Stingray Manager Steve Hurley and Bubba's BTLS Foundation have purchased the car. Tickets for the drawing are $5.
Unity founder Joyce Jordan said last year's drawing generated more than $70,000.
Among other works, Unity in May will present 30 $1,000 scholarships to needy high school students who are graduating. Other charities that have received money from Unity have included the United Food Bank of Plant City and Meals on Wheels.
The winning ticket will be drawn at 5 p.m. March 13 at the Florida Strawberry Festival. The winner need not be present to win.
Tickets will be available at Stingray Chevrolet until 6 p.m. March 11 and at the festival from Thursday until 4:30 p.m. March 13.
Tickets also will be available online at stingraychevrolet.com until 6 p.m. March 11; limit 20 tickets per person.
