VOORHEES – Camden County Clerk Jim Beach drew the names of 240 World War II veterans from a rotating container on Friday morning and announced each would receive a $50 card to fill gas tanks at a filling station in Haddonfield on Aug. 28.

The gas card promotion was made possible through the generous sponsorship of three local businesses – Somerdale-based AllRisk Property Damage Restoration Co., for $10,000, and Voorhees-based Bowman and Co., and Proof Production of Glassboro, $1,000 each. The effort was coordinated by the Camden County Office of Veterans Affairs.

About 100 of the approximately 1,200 entrants in the raffle were on hand for the drawing at Boscov’s Court, near the Camden County Store, in the Echelon Mall. A representative from AllRisk joined the clerk in announcing the winners of the drawing.

Beach said the cards are redeemable at the Sunoco station on Haddon Avenue in Haddonfield.
