Every cause needs advocates, and MINI of Bedford recently announced that it will be supporting the Children's Museum of New Hampshire in its latest fundraising efforts. The Museum will raffle off a MINI Cooper Convertible from the New Hampshire MINI dealer at its Cheers to Children food and wine fundraiser on March 23. Six hundred raffle tickets are currently being sold at $100 each, with proceeds going toward the Museum's operating costs. Valued at $29,000, the Pepper White 2012 MINI Cooper Convertible features black bonnet stripes and a 121-horsepower, 1.6-liter engine. Though it is a drop-top, the prize is prepped to brave New England winters thanks to a Cold Weather Package that features heated seats, heated power-folding mirrors and heated washer jets. The lucky winner will also enjoy a six-speed automatic transmission, Bluetooth connectivity with an iPod adapter, a MINI Boost Stereo and a one-year subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio. "The Children's Museum of New Hampshire does so much good for the community, and we are proud to give back by being a sponsor of this wonderful event," said Marshal Cabot, general manager of MINI of Bedford. "We're sure that whoever wins the Convertible will be thrilled, not only because they won a great car, but because they've also helped to support an important local organization." Tickets may be purchased online at www.childrens-museum.org, by phone at 603-742-2002 or at the Museum's front desk.
