Aspire’s Children’s Raffle has returned in 2024 with three great prizes as well as a new 50/50 cash draw with tickets available exclusively online.

Officials say the transition to an entirely online format was embraced with enthusiasm and careful consideration.

“The decision to move to a digital format for Aspire’s Children’s Raffle reduced the cost of running the raffle, ensuring more of the money raised goes to supporting those we serve.” said JoAnne Hayden, Aspire’s Executive Director.

This year’s grand prize is a 2024 Dodge Hornet GT, valued at $41,440 sponsored by Southside Dodge Red Deer and Tsunami Water Solutions Inc. The second prize is a white and yellow gold diamond ring valued at $7,050 from Artemis Jewellers. The third prize is $2,500 cash provided by Servus Credit Union.

New this year, officials point out, is a 50/50 cash draw with the winner taking home up to $10,000.

“The 50/50 will give participants a second opportunity to win while also increasing our fundraising potential to support the children and families we serve,” adds Hayden.

The Annual Aspire Children’s Raffle is described as one of Aspire’s largest annual fundraising efforts. Organizers say all proceeds from the raffle will support programs and services for children with diverse needs and their families in the community.

Megan Fitzpatrick, Aspire’s Events & Donor Relations Coordinator explains that the Children’s Raffle continues to be a great way for the community to support Aspire.

“With the Aspire Children’s Raffle being one of our key fundraisers we are relying on the community to help us sell out and raise even more this year. With our sponsors already being so generous we hope the community will buy and share the ticket information with their friends and family. This is a great way to not only win some incredible prizes but to support children with diverse needs and their families in central Alberta,” she explained.

Children’s Raffle winners will be drawn Saturday, June 1, 2024 at Aspire’s Push & Pace fundraising walk and run presented by SurePath Group at Parkland School, 6016 – 45 Avenue, Red Deer, AB.
