SPY’s Major Fund-Raiser
The Sunfield Area Sponsor of Programs for Youth (SPY’s) will be raffling off 2 thirty-six inch Blackstone Griddles with air fryer bundles. These Blackstones have a value of $1,000 each. In addition, the raffle will include an original twenty-eight inch Blackstone griddle with cutting board, valued at $300.
That is three chances per ticket to win one of these fabulous griddles! A limited number of tickets will be sold, with the drawing to be held on February 4, 2023. If all of the tickets are sold, there will be an additional twenty separate drawings for $50 each.
These Blackstone Griddles are a real Top-Notch outfit! They by far surpass your regular limited grilling experience! They are excellent!!!
With the Blackstone Griddle with Electric Air Fryer and Hood, you can do it all: bake, sear, roast, sauté, and air fry. This griddle combines the simplicity and ease of air frying with the hands-on art of griddling for a satisfying blend of styles. 524 Square inches of cooking space combined with 4 quarts of air frying capacity. A hood retains heat and reduces splatter, while patented rear grease management controls the mess on the griddle surface. Two side shelves, a magnetic strip for griddling accessories, and tool hooks provide precious prep and storage space. With everything you can do on this griddle, you'll be drooling before your dinner is done. This propane and plug-powered Blackstone will bring many delicious meals to the table for years to come.
