There is one week left to get your tickets for the 2023 KidSport Playhouse Raffle, with the winner being announced on September 16th at 3pm at the Martensville A&W.
Tickets for the raffle are $5 each and are available at the local Co-op, Martensville A&W as well as online at https://warman-kidsport.myshopify.com/, or by using the provided QR code.
The grand prize winner will receive the 100-square-foot playhouse, which can also be used as a storage shed, complete with electrical outlets. Second prize is a $500 Cabela’s gift card, and third prize is a gift basket.
All money raised through this fundraiser will be used to help support the local KidSport program, which is a non-profit organization that helps provide financial assistance to children ages 5-18 to participate in community sports programs that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to engage in. Youth sports can help teach children important lessons that they will use throughout their lives, as well as teach them to work in a team environment.
Through KidSport, individual grants of up to $750/calendar year can be provided, with applications for this program available at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion.
“Thank you to everyone that helped to make this fundraiser a possibility once again and to those that have already purchased their tickets. Through efforts like this, it really makes me proud of the community that we live in. Seeing individuals, businesses and organizations come together to help with this fundraiser is incredible and we are so grateful for the support,” Angie Reddekopp, Martensville KidSport Coordinator, stated.
According to Reddekopp, the goal is typically to raise around $10,000, with ticket sales currently sitting at approximately $7,500.
“If you haven’t purchased a ticket yet, there is still time, so be sure to get in on a chance to win one of these awesome prizes and if you already have a ticket, why not increase your odds with another one,” Reddekopp added.
This October, there is another great opportunity to support KidSport and you get to take in a day of fun at a Saskatchewan Roughrider game at the same time. The Roughrider Bus Trip will be taking place on Saturday, October 7th and includes a bus trip to Regina, complete with your game ticket, transportation, snacks, prizes and more. Prices are $100 for adults and $85 for youth. For more information, contact Angie Reddekopp at (306) 683-5577.
