Rotary Club draws Westerner Days 50/50 winner
The Rotary Club of Red Deer Sunrise has made the draw for its Westerner Days 50/50 winner and long-time resident Gay Brinton is the lucky resident taking home $32,870 from the fundraiser.
Brinton purchased winning ticket B-18803 because “we’ve been residents of Red Deer for years and I try to buy locally. Any community thats having a function or draw, I just support,” she said.
The other half of the draw will remain with the Rotary Club and go towards the annual grant run they hold for central Alberta organizations that meet their criteria for helping seniors and youth, said Jeffrey Dawson, chairperson of the raffle.
“All of the funds raised through these activities and everything we do, our club gives to community organizations for projects that they’re working on,” said Ian Warwick, president of the Rotary Club of Red Deer Sunrise. “It’s all shared with the people of Red Deer and central Alberta.”
