THE OVIDE CHENIER III LEGACY RAFFLE
A few weeks ago, our department lost more than a firefighter. We lost a brother, a friend, a mentor, and one of the good ones.
Now we have an opportunity to come together and do something for the person who meant the most to him — his daughter.
St. John Local 4784 is proud to announce The Ovide Chenier III Legacy Raffle, with 100% of our efforts focused on raising money to help support Ovide’s daughter and honor the legacy he left behind.
Tickets are $20 each, and every ticket gives you a chance at SEVEN separate prizes! Each item will have its own drawing, so there are seven chances to win.
The prizes are incredible, but this raffle is about something much bigger than what you can win.
It’s about taking care of one of our own.
Ovide spent his career showing up for others. He helped the new guy. He taught without being asked. He did the little things around the station that nobody noticed. He was the kind of firefighter and friend who earned your respect simply by the way he carried himself.
Now it’s our turn to show up for him.
Drawing: October 1, 2026
Tickets: $20 each
Tickets are available through members of St. John Local 4784.
You DO NOT need to be present to win.
Please help us spread the word. Buy a ticket. Buy a few. Share this post. Every ticket sold helps us honor Ovide and provide something meaningful for the daughter he loved so much.
We can't fill the void he left behind, but we can make sure his family knows his fire department family hasn't forgotten them.
This is for Oppie. This is for his daughter. This is his legacy.
Thank you to everyone who has donated prizes, bought tickets, shared the raffle, or helped make this possible. Your support means more than you know.
Rest easy, brother. We've got it from here.
