WOW! Impact 50/50 Raffle Announced!
On September 9th Albertans have the chance to win up to $500,000 while supporting Fort McMurray’s frontline charities! Will you be the lucky winner announced at the midnight draw?
Tickets for the WOW! Impact 50/50 Raffle will be on sale September 9th, 2021 for one day only. The goal to sell $1 million dollars of raffle tickets will direct 50% of the proceeds to Fort McMurray charities: The Northern Lights Health Foundation, Local HERO Foundation and Friends of the Fort McMurray Firefighter Charities Funds Society to raise funds for medical equipment, medevac missions, and health and wellness initiatives in the Wood Buffalo Fort McMurray community.
“We have come together to offer a $1 million dollar 50/50 raffle to Albertans where 50% of the proceeds will fund vital health, safety, and emergency response initiatives in our region,” said Cindy Amerongen, executive director of the Health Foundation. “The services offered by [these organizations] are more in demand than ever. Rather than compete for donations, we have chosen to work with Local HERO and the Fort McMurray Firefighters to maximize our reach and increase the value of the raffle pot.”
“Together we have far more impact. We have tremendous health initiatives on the go so the WOW! IMPACT 50/50 is a win for everyone,” Amerongen continued. “We know Albertans want to contribute and will be pleased to support three awesome charities with their ticket purchase. We are looking forward to the ticket sales and draw and can’t wait to call the winner!”
“The Fort McMurray Firefighters Charities Association is proud to be able to team up with two incredible local organizations to help frontline workers and residents of this community. There is strength in numbers, and our combined effort with all our volunteers and members will help make an impact in Fort McMurray,” said Scott Germain, representative of Friends of the Fort McMurray Firefighter Charities Funds Society.
“We are enabling growth in healthcare services, adding new technology and infrastructure, and renovating existing health spaces,” Amerongen said. “Proceeds from the WOW! IMPACT 50/50 Raffle will have an immediate impact on healthcare in our region.”
The lucky winner gets a take-home cash prize of up to $500,000.
