Rocco Oppedisano, who works with Good Samaritan's Engineering Planet Department, won first place in the hospital guild's 50/50 raffle. He then used the money won to purchase holiday gifts for a local family.
“I feel blessed to not only have won the Guild’s 50/50 raffle but to be able to share the winnings to bring Christmas to a family that might not have had one,” said Oppedisano.
