I am the luckiest woman on the Vineyard. I won the CB Stark raffle for their 50th Anniversary Pave Diamond Martha’s Vineyard necklace. It is truly amazing.

First of all, I have to thank CB Stark for their incredible generosity. All the proceeds from the raffle (which I understand were well over $3,000) were donated to the Martha’s Vineyard Cancer Support Group. This is an organization on the Island that is of special significance to me as they were invaluable to us during my husband’s illness in 2015-16.

Secondly, I have to thank all of those who bought tickets for this raffle. You, too, are stars in my mind. Because of your generosity, the cancer support group will be able to continue their mission of helping Vineyard cancer patients and their families. One hundred per cent of the proceeds will go to deserving persons undergoing cancer treatment which, sadly, is needed more and more these days.

With greatest appreciation.
