Spanos is the owner of the San Diego Chargers. For years, the Spanos Family has donated the game tickets and $2,000 in cash to give to people who win the raffle.
“We just really believe that’s part of our responsibility in the community,” Spanos’ daughter Dea Berberian said. “We should do these things and we don’t want to forget we can help to make a difference.”
