The Westlake Educational Foundation recently concluded its 6th annual car raffle, announcing the winners for eight exciting raffle prizes. Due to the generosity of Serpentini Chevrolet of Westlake, the grand prize was a 2025 Chevy Trax, and Peter and Megan Moutoux were the lucky winners of the new car.

Peter may not be a Westlake alumnus, but luck clearly runs in the family. As the winning ticket holder, he’s surrounded by Westlake pride—Megan and their four children are all alumni, and Megan proudly serves as the district’s alumni coordinator, supporting everything Westlake. In fact, Peter and Megan plan to drive their new car around town, to show off their new car with its “WIN THIS CAR”, Westlake “W”, and Serpentini Chevrolet stickers still attached.

As in prior years, the Foundation partnered with other organizations within the Westlake City School District who support various aspects of Westlake student life. By promoting the raffle and donating prizes for the raffle, Westlake Demons Athletic Boosters, Music Boosters, PTAs, and Alumni Association shared in the ticket sales proceeds. With their involvement and support, the Foundation’s sixth car raffle raised over $34,000.

These proceeds will help the Foundation and its partner organizations support their respective missions, ultimately enhancing the curricular and extra-curricular activities of Westlake City Schools’ students. For example, the Foundation recently awarded over $22,000 in grants to teachers at each of the four Westlake City schools to support creative and innovative teaching experiences in their respective classrooms. And over $93,000 has been awarded by the Foundation since the first car raffle in 2021.

In addition to the Chevy Trax grand prize, Randy Torboli won the Westlake Educational Foundation’s FOUNT Harmon Belt Bag; Beth Meek won the Foundation’s Crocker Park gift card basket; Michael McGuire won the Westlake PTA car wash basket; Karen Casto won the Westlake Demons Athletic Boosters basket and $250 from the Westlake Alumni Association; Maggie Rader won the Westlake Music Boosters Lotto basket; and Amy McPherson won $250 from the Westlake Alumni Association.

The Westlake Educational Foundation’s mission is to enhance the educational opportunities and experiences of Westlake City Schools’ students in the endeavor to “Educate for Excellence”. The Foundation is grateful for its community partners, as it relies on money raised from donations and fundraisers, such as the car raffle, to award staff grants.

On Sunday, April 26, 2026, the Foundation will be hosting the annual Spring Fever Run in conjunction with the Westlake Kiwanis pancake breakfast at Westlake High School. The race will include a Kids’ Dash, a 1-mile fun run, 2-mile run/walk, and 4-mile race. Free kids’ activities will be available in the Westlake High School auxiliary gym during and after the races. Games and activities include face painting, corn hole, hula hoops, bowling, limbo and soccer.
