The Grand Prize Drawing is scheduled to be conducted by VISIONS OF HOPE on Saturday, April 17, 2021, the night of Vision of Hope’s Autos 4 Autism Event.

VISIONS OF HOPE takes no responsibility for any tax liabilities. Consult your tax advisor. This offer is void where prohibited by law, and all federal, state and local laws and regulations apply.
