Rotary awards SEC Championship tickets in raffle

Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Tyler Watts drew the winning raffle ticket for an SEC Championship Atlanta Package at Homewood Rotary's Oct. 17 luncheon. All proceeds from the raffle support the organization's annual Homewood Education Foundation Scholarship Program. 

Allen Henderson won the SEC package, and various other prizes were awarded as well.

The Rotary gives out roughly $15,000 in scholarships to four to five Homewood City School graduates each year.

“We generally look for graduates that are B and C students that cannot get a traditional scholarship on their own and are from financially strapped families,” Rotary president Joshua Carne said. “Otherwise, they generally would not go to college without our help.”
