The Martensville Curling Club will be hosting a special fundraising event on Sunday, March 8th, as Spirit of Sandra Scholar Dylan Derksen brings a 2-person Open Sturling Bonspiel to town in support of the Sandra Schmirler Foundation.
Derksen is organizing the event to help raise funds for the foundation, a national organization dedicated to purchasing life-saving equipment for premature and critically ill babies in hospitals across Canada. Through initiatives like this one, the foundation continues its mission of giving the tiniest patients a stronger start.
The one-day bonspiel will feature a fun and open format, welcoming curlers of all skill levels. Entry is $100 per team, with games played over six ends. Each team is guaranteed three games. Teams will begin with a $48 wager, and for each game won, they’ll take half of the opposing team’s wager.
In addition to the on-ice action, the event will include raffle prizes, a 50/50 draw, and a silent auction. Silent auction items will be on display at the Martensville Curling Club from March 2nd to March 8th, allowing community members to stop by and place bids throughout the week. Derksen will also be at the club on select evenings to sell raffle and 50/50 tickets.
Donations of silent auction items are welcome, as are monetary contributions to the foundation.
Those interested in registering a team or donating an item can contact Dylan Derksen at (306) 212-8767 or by email at dylanderksen11@gmail.com.
Monetary donations can also be made directly through the Sandra Schmirler Foundation using the following link, while still supporting the fundraiser: https://sandraschmirler.org/en/home/?form=FUNDFMTKWCD.
Community members are encouraged to come out, support a meaningful cause, and enjoy a day of curling while helping make a difference for families across Canada.
