The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme is offering million-dollar opportunity: a brand-new Channel Islands Harbor home (or $1 million cash) for a $150 raffle ticket.

Tickets for the House of Ten Thousand Dreams Home Raffle are on sale now. Proceeds will help the local group expand with a goal of serving 10,000 youngsters. The clubs provide programming for 7,000 kids at 24 locations in the Oxnard and Port Hueneme areas.

A total of 18,000 tickets will be sold and 200 prizes will be raffled. Second prize is a 2007 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy motorcycle.

For tickets, visit www.tenthousanddreams.net and download an entry form (under "Raffle Tickets"), or call 866-720-2582. There will be three early-bird drawings, with the final and grand prize drawing set March 31. Enter by Wednesday for the first early-bird drawing Dec. 21.

Early-bird winners still will be eligible to win the home.

The House of Ten Thousand Dreams is a two-story, 2,800-square-foot single-family home to be built in 2008 in the gated island Port Meridian region of the Seabridge community; it includes a 45-foot boat dock and water views. The four-bedroom home includes a master retreat, loft, three bathrooms, optional fifth bedroom and two-car garage.

Seabridge, a marina village in Channel Islands Harbor, is built around six distinct neighborhoods; the community includes single-family homes, single-level flats, town homes and live/work designs.

A planned recreation center will include a harbor-view pool, spa and sundecks, barbecue center, game room, and event and media rooms. Three bridges link the island and village so that island residents can walk to village shops and restaurants.
