The Thunderbird Community Sports Foundation and Schneider Homes delivered a playhouse to their season-long raffle winner Thursday.
Kelly Bachenberg was chosen on fan appreciation night at the ShoWare Center on March 16, the Thunderbirds’ last regular-season home game.
“I was screaming,” Bachenberg said. “I told everyone I was gonna win it, so it was exciting.”
The Schneider Homes built and donated the playhouse to the foundation.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with how the raffle turned out,” said Jason Thomsen, director of corporate partnerships for the T-birds. “We are very thankful to Schneider Homes and their partners for bringing this idea forward. It was great watching the home be delivered to the Bachenberg family and how happy they were to have won the playhouse.”
Bachenberg’s family was at her home when representatives from Schneider Homes and the Thunderbirds delivered the playhouse. Although she gave the playhouse to her nieces and nephews, it sits at her house in the Kent valley for them to use whenever they visit.
Bachenberg and her family are big Thunderbirds fans, and two of her nieces and nephews, Kathleen, 8, and Seamus, 5, are scheduled to start hockey lessons soon.
