1967 Chevelle Raffled to Help East Texas Girl

JACKSONVILLE – Tiffany Arnold from Mixon has cerebral palsy. According to KETK, when she was born, doctors told her parents she wouldn’t live past 3. But she did. She’s now 17 years old, and she’s outgrown the minivan her family has used to take her places for the past 17 years. That’s where Brownsboro man Glenn Miller and the “BAM Foundation” come in. They hope to give back to the community by helping others, just as they were helped.
Until May, Miller and the foundation will be selling raffle tickets for a 1967 Chevelle donated by a friend of Miller’s. The car was on display in Jacksonville over the weekend. For $25 a ticket, the car will be given away in May after 1,000 tickets are sold. The money will be used to buy the Arnold family a bigger van, and the old van will be donated to another East Texas family in need.
