Funtastic launches raffle to support sports groups

Apr 9, 2021 | 1:00 PM

With a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the 2021 Funtastic Festival, organizers have come up with a way to ensure local sports groups can still get access to funding for equipment and capital projects.

The Funtastic Sports Society has launched a raffle that will run until July 3 where people can purchase a ticket for $20 with the chance to win one of four prizes.

President Darcy Sochan said the society, like many groups and businesses, has had to adapt to Covid-19 guidelines.

“Our mission is to build a better community through sport and give back to the community. We are reaching out for your support in this raffle, so we can continue our community grant program and our plan to enhance the fields at DND.”

Raffle tickets are available from Funtastic board of directors, on the Funtastic website (as of Monday Apr. 12) www.funtasticsports.ca, emailing office@funtastic.org, phoning 250 558 7756, the Funtastic Facebook page and at various locations throughout the city until July 3, including Sun Country Cycle this Saturday, April 10 on Kal Lake Road from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The draw will take place at the Funtastic office at DND on Saturday July 3, 2021.

“Thanks to our great sponsors, we are able to offer sports related prizes to four lucky raffle winners,” general manager Akbal Mund said.

  • 1st prize is a pair of Townie Go Ebikes from Sun Country Cycle,
  • 2nd prize is two rounds of golf and stay at Predator Ridge,
  • 3rd prize is two Pelican kayaks from Funtastic
  • 4th prize is a $650 gift certificate from National Softball Association.

A decision regarding the 37th annual Funtastic event on the Canada Day long weekend will be made by the end of April.

“The board of directors are following the Provincial Health Orders closely and a decision will be made with the health and safety of the focus of their decision,” Sochan said.
