Karis commented that "Mr. Kipp has always given to others through community support, friends and family. When he read the flyer about Heath he immediately bought (3) tickets and his daughter bought tickets as well. He didn't think that we would win the car, but considered the cause. He says that he has never won anything before. He is so excited that everywhere he goes he shows the flyer."
