Daynes, general manager of The Staffing Connection and Level A Professional Group purchased the vehicle from Trans Canada Nissan — valued at $50,000 —for the raffle’s inaugural year that began last month.
He has been supporting Crime Stoppers for over a decade through initiatives such as sponsoring hockey games and charity golf tournaments hosted by the latter.
"I think it's important because I live in Peterborough and I want to support my community and make sure that it's safe,” said Daynes. “We have locations throughout the area of Peterborough and in Cobourg as a business and I want to make sure we give back to the communities that we serve."
