TOLEDO, Ohio - Just about the time Sunday Griffith was starting to receive the medical bills for her chemotherapy, an email from the UToledo Athletic Department caught her eye.
The department was holding an online 50/50 raffle in conjunction with the Downtown Coaches Association (DCA), a support group for UToledo Athletics. Normally the DCA conducts the raffle at Rocket Football games and other UToledo Athletics home events, but the raffle moved to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sunday thought she would try her luck.
"I saw the pot was $2800 so I thought I'd throw in $20," said Sunday, who serves as UToledo's director of enrollment research and planning.
