There are plenty of exciting ways to spend a Friday night, but giving away a brand-new car is pretty hard to beat.

Last Friday, Kendall Auto Group joined West Ada School District at Owyhee High School for the 5th Annual Fall Activities and Athletics Raffle drawing during halftime of the Owyhee vs. Eagle football game. The night brought together students, families, sponsors, and the community to celebrate an incredible fundraising effort and, of course, some very lucky prize winners.

The grand prize? A 2026 Nissan Rogue from Kendall Auto Group.

The winning ticket belonged to one lucky community member who wasn’t able to be there himself, but his daughter and granddaughters were on hand to represent him during the drawing. Not a bad phone call to get during a Friday night football game!

But the real win of the night went far beyond the prizes.

West Ada’s fall athletic and activity programs raised approximately $510,000 through the fall raffle, with the money going directly back to participating student programs to help offset costs and create better opportunities for students.

What makes the fundraiser especially impactful is that the proceeds from each ticket sale stay with the program that sold the ticket. That means when families, friends, and community members purchase tickets from a specific team, club, or activity, they are directly supporting those students.

With approximately $510,000 raised through the fall programs alone, West Ada is once again on track to surpass $1 million in annual raffle ticket sales.

An event like this doesn’t happen without a long list of people and organizations willing to step up for local students.

Kendall Auto Group was proud to provide this year’s grand prize vehicle and join a group of generous sponsors supporting the fundraiser, including Micron, ICCU, Coca-Cola and Swire Coca-Cola, Idaho Air National Guard, KM Engineering, Project Filter, Regence, SCHEELS, and Silver Star Communications.

From major prizes to community support, every contribution helps make the fundraiser bigger and more impactful for West Ada students.

We’re grateful to everyone who purchased a ticket, every student and program that helped sell them, and every sponsor who helped make the Fall Raffle possible.

Most of all, congratulations to all of this year’s winners, especially the newest owner of a 2026 Nissan Rogue!
