Past Winners
2024 1st Place Raffle Winner
Glen Parker, FL
Anyone can win! Last year’s winners were Glen Parker of Florida, who won a Rivian R1T, and Patrice Hersey of Massachusetts, who won the Ioniq 5. Glen told us driving electric is “so much fun. The acceleration, the smoothness, the quiet, the convenience of charging at home and not worrying about fuel. It’s everything I thought driving electric would be.” He likes “doing truck things and hanging out with truck people.” But he mostly joined “to help the cause.”
Thanks to Glen and other ticket buyers, CCAN Action Fund is able to do great work year round. This year already, we’ve passed policies bringing more renewable energy to Maryland, while working in Virginia to build out green space and bikeable communities. We’re also protecting ratepayers in Washington, DC and helping them lower their bills while cleaning up pollution. And federally, we’re pressuring Congress to unleash the clean energy revolution with historic transmission investments.

What The Funds Will Be Used For
CCAN Action Fund will use the funds raised from the raffle to advocate for public policies that fight climate change across the Chesapeake region and nationwide. The United States recently became the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which means record amounts of the powerful greenhouse gas methane are leaking all over the world. We will work to stop the LNG expansion. We’re also pressuring the D.C. Public Service Commission (PSC) to REJECT a multi-billion dollar pollution plan which would spend $4.5 billion ratepayer dollars on polluting methane gas infrastructure. With your help, we will continue advocating for building electrification, public transit, electing climate champions, and helping those most vulnerable adapt to the consequences of a changing climate.
