Ontario Community Raffle

Half the pot.
Heart of the club.

Every ticket you grab grows a single shared jackpot and keeps Bluewater Gymnastics Club Sarnia on the map. One lucky number walks away with 50% — the rest stays here, where the work happens.

The mechanics

A 50/50 draw, in three sentences.

No scratch cards, no spinning wheels — just a shared pot, a single random pick, and a clean split.

  • Tickets are on sale through a set window. Every dollar collected builds a single shared pot.
  • When sales close, one entry is pulled at random under independent supervision.
  • The winning ticket takes 50%. The matching 50% funds programs at Bluewater Gymnastics Club Sarnia.

From ticket to winner.

Heard from players.

“Didn’t hit the jackpot, but I’ll be back next month. It’s a small price to pay knowing the club benefits either way.”

James K. Bluewater region

“I loved how transparent the whole thing felt. The results were up exactly when they said they would be.”

Lisa T. London, Ontario

Half the pot, every draw

50%

of every ticket flows straight back to programs in the region.

What your other half buys.

Bluewater Gymnastics Club Sarnia is a non-profit. Every cent that doesn’t go to the winner stays inside the club. Concretely, that means:

  • Sustain youth and adult gymnastics programs across the region
  • Bring our athletes to regional and provincial meets
  • Make small grants available to other community non-profits
  • Lower the barrier for families who couldn’t otherwise join
