概要
Fear that your generosity was stolen gets under the skin: a small town raised $219,400 for a hospital raffle for a Ford F-250 that was never owned, never donated, and whose pristine giveaway placard was found behind a dumpster four days before the drawing-so who actually took the money and why did no one stop it?
In this episode, you will hear how a community fundraiser unfolded, the people who bought tickets believing they were helping the pediatric unit, and the paper trail that revealed the grand prize and donation were fabrications-what did the organizer admit in private emails that he never told the town?
Person: Kevin Brooks
Event: Kellerton Community Savings Drive raffle
Date: August 11, 2009 (placard discovery) and raffle run through 2008-2009

- The laminated placard advertising the Ford F-250 was found pristine behind a dumpster on Brackett Street two blocks from the Savings Drive office four days before the drawing.
- The fundraiser had collected $219,400 from roughly 680 people across Sable County.
- Kevin Brooks registered the Kellerton Community Savings Drive in March 2007 and wrote in a November 2008 email calling the truck "the thing we're all pretending exists."
