COMMUNITY CARE
************************
Community Care is excited to announce the launch of their newest fundraising initiative, an online 50/50 raffle. This initiative is a genuine WIN-WIN with a great way to support Community Care and have a chance to Win Big. The 50/50 Jackpot Prize has a guaranteed minimum value of $5,000, but there is no limit to how big it can grow!
The campaign will run for only four weeks [May 29 to June 26] and there are special Early Bird Prize draws every week. Best of all, ticket prices start at just $10 - to play, visit Care5050.ca
This initiative comes at a critical time when the agency has been searching for alternative ways to raise funds in the time of physical distancing and cancelled in-person events. The need for Community Care services has never been greater. This is a great way for the community to participate in a fun event from the comfort and safety of their home, while supporting Community Care and filling the tummies of neighbours in need.
“We rely heavily on fundraising initiatives to deliver our programs and services at Community Care. Since the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have been put in place, we have seen the cancellation of over 25 events which were projected to bring in upwards of $400,000 in much needed funds for the organization. Betty-Lou Souter, CEO Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold.
