The effort to build a children's

emergency shelter in Coweta County is picking up steam this holiday season.

County music superstar Alan

Jackson is donating his silver 2002 silver Corvette to help fund the Angels

House shelter.

Residents can buy $10 raffle

tickets, with proceeds going to the shelter. More than 3,000 of the 10,000

tickets have already been sold, but residents can also find the tickets

at Mike Fitzpatrick Ford Lincoln Mercury in Newnan.

If you buy 10 tickets at the

car dealer, you get one free. Also, if you purchase a new or used car

at Mike Fitzpatrick before Dec. 15, you'll receive 10 tickets.

Jackson helped out the shelter

earlier this year by staging a concert at Newnan High School's Drake Field.

The winning ticket will be

drawn Dec. 15 during Angel Fest in downtown Newnan.

When Angels House is completed,

it will help provide temporary housing and care for abused and neglected

children in Coweta County.
