This year, everyone who raises $200 or more will have a chance to win some amazing prizes including 2 Winnipeg Blue Bombers Season Passes and a special getaway at Inn at the Forks among other prizes. The more $ you raise the more ballots you earn for the draws. Everyone who raises $200 (personal gifts excluded as per CRA guidelines) will receive one ballot in the draw. When you reach $500 you receive a second ballot. You will then receive an additional ballot for every $250 that you raise. This means that if you raise $1,500 in pledges you will receive 6 ballots in the draw. If you raise $5,000 you will receive 20 ballots.
We will also provide special recognition to the largest team and the individual who has the greatest number of donations.
