Selma Service Center Spreads Holiday Cheer with Annual Tree Raffle

On December 15th, the Selma Service Center celebrated the season by hosting their 3rd Annual Office Christmas Tree Raffle, bringing festive cheer to the community. A few years ago, Selma Service Center Manager Karla Celis received a donation of two Christmas trees for the office. Inspired to give back to Proteus customers while engaging the community, the team came up with the idea of a raffle giveaway. 

The event has grown steadily over the years. In its first year, the raffle received about 15 entries. Last year, the number increased to just over 20. This year, the response was phenomenal—over 100 entries! Thanks to generous donations from Costco, the Selma team was able to give away three beautifully decorated Christmas trees. In addition, nine other families were awarded Christmas baskets filled with holiday goods, spreading cheer even further. 

One memorable story from the raffle involved a dedicated customer who visited the office every day to submit an additional entry, as the rules allowed one per day. Their persistence paid off—they ended up winning a tree! 

A big shoutout to the Selma Service Center for creating this inspiring holiday tradition, which continues to bring joy to the community year after year.
