Friends of the Santa Maria Public Library will conduct the 15th Annual Painted Chair Raffle fundraiser to benefit the Santa Maria Public Library.

The event will take place April 25-May 9 next to Macy’s on the second floor of Santa Maria Town Center Mall with raffle tickets available for purchase to win book-themed artistic items created by local artists.

Raffle tickets are $1 each or six for $5.

A live drawing of the raffle tickets on Facebook will begin at 4 p.m. May 9. Winners need not be present to win.

“We are extremely grateful to our local artists who donate their creations and to the businesses, and community members who provide donations and sponsorships in support of the event,” organizers said.
 
Established in 1982, the Friends of the Santa Maria Public Library raises funds for the Santa Maria Public Library that allows them to provide material, programs and services they would otherwise not have.
