NEWS RELEASE
ROTARY CLUB OF SAULT STE MARIE
*************************
The Rotary Club of Sault Ste. Marie has launched ticket sales for its largest fundraiser of the year, the Rotaryfest Take Your Pick Draw. For the first time in the history of the draw, tickets can be purchased online. Tickets are still just $20 and continue to support Rotary’s good works in our community.
The most significant change to this year’s draw is a new draw date of Nov. 21 and corresponding 'winter' themed prize packages to choose between that include brand new all-wheel drive vehicles, a Defender Side by Side with plow kit, Ski-Doo Snowmobiles, and of course $75,000 cash.
Also new this year is a $1,000 Early Bird Draw for those who purchase their tickets online or by calling 705-945-1279 before noon on Oct. 2.
The Rotary Club is thankful for the community’s ongoing support as they continue to fundraise and host events digitally, such as their monthly Rotary At Work 50/50 draws in support of Thrive and Saturday’s Virtual Rotaryfest which streams at 7 p.m. on SooToday and will feature exclusive music performances by talented artists with ties to the Soo.
Proceeds from the Rotaryfest Take Your Pick Draw have allowed the Rotary Club to invest millions of dollars back into the community through their good works and support of children with physical disabilities. Major projects have included the Rotary Adventure Playground in Bellevue Park, support of the Bellevue Park Splash Pad, and over $200,000 in donations to the Sault Area Hospital.
