Car For A Cure

Each year the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi teams up Patty Peck Honda in Ridgeland to drive away diabetes in the "Car for a Cure" raffle. The winner receives a 2010 Honda Civic Coupe, courtesy of Patty Peck Honda.

"It’s been very rewarding," Patty Christie said. "The most fun part is giving the car away, because it’s always someone who really needs a car that wins, and that’s a really good feeling."

"When we call the person to tell them that they’ve won, they’re very excited. And some think it’s a prank and can’t believe they’ve won," Christie said with a laugh.

What makes it even better is knowing that all of the proceeds stay in Mississippi- the money supports the DFM’s school programs and patients throughout the state who have diabetes, Jeff Christie said.

"It just adds a personal touch," he said. "I like that every dollar stays in our state to help Mississippians with diabetes and to raise awareness. At the DFM, everyone has the best interests of the patients in mind. Nobody treats their work as a job."
