The funds from the annual Reverse Raffle are used to pay for Safety School, Kent Junior Mothers’ largest service project. Safety School is a one-week program held each summer to teach Kent children entering kindergarten vital safety skills regarding stranger awareness, guns, bicycles, buses and cars, water and weather, railroads, fire, playgrounds and more. Over 2,200 Kent children have participated in Safety School since it began over 30 years ago.

According to Erica Peeps, president, Kent Junior Mothers, the Reverse Raffle is a fun way to support kids and families in our community. 

“Safety School would not be possible without the help of our generous donors and committed volunteers who support us year after year,” Peeps said. “We believe it is an essential program that is helping the children in our community stay safe at home, at school and at play.”
