The drawing for the Bresnan Communications/Chevy Raffle Grand Prize, a 2010 Chevy Silverado crew cab pickup truck, was held on May 14 in Bozeman during the closing ceremonies at the Special Olympics Montana State Summer Games.

The lucky winner of the brand new pickup will receive her new wheels on Friday, May 28, at 11:00 am at City Motor Company in Great Falls.

The winner, Dawn Judge, works as a supervisor at NEW in Great Falls.  She was vacationing in Florida when her name was drawn – and received the happy news via cell phone from her supervisor, Greg Maltby over the weekend.  “I’m just so excited to have won,” said Dawn, “I really needed a new vehicle—I can’t wait to see it!”  Dawn has volunteered for Special Olympics for several years, and reported she felt surprised, humbled and very happy to learn she had won the truck.

Bob Norbie, CEO of Special Olympics Montana, Leslie Oakland Thomas of City Motor, and several cheering athletes will be present to hand Dawn the keys to her new truck on Friday.

Congratulations and a big thank you to Dawn… and happy motoring!
