On Saturday, Feb. 14, the St. Marys Kinette Club held their Fill Your Fridge fundraiser draw.
The draw took place on Facebook live from the Broken Rail Brewery, which was celebrating its five-year anniversary at the same time.
The first-place prize was a choice of either 52 $40 President’s Choice/Sobeys gift cards or $1,500 cash. The prize for second place was a $250 President’s Choice/Sobeys gift card and the third-place prize was a $100 President’s Choice/Sobeys gift card. The club proudly sold 632 tickets. Tickets were sold at Cascade Cleaners, St. Marys Vet Clinic, Snapping Turtle Coffee Roasters, Broken Rail and by members of the club.
Proceeds from the yearly draw will go towards Salvation Army food bank, Cystic Fibrosis Canada, the Wendy Richardson award bursary at DCVI, the Teddy Bear Picnic, Friends of the Library, the annual Easter Egg Hunt and minor sports like hockey, ringette, soccer and baseball.
Erin Leaman from Broken Rail drew the winners. All three were from St. Marys. First place went to Marlene Forman, second place went to Jenny Mikita and third place went to Barb Walsh. All of them took President’s Choice gift cards.
“Although we were not a sell out at 800 tickets, we still profited to give back to the recipients we planned for as per our lottery license without leaving anyone out, and that is what matters,” said project chair Terri Iredale.
The club wishes to thank everyone who purchased tickets and helped them sell tickets which is what helps to keep this fundraiser going.
The club will be participating in the Coldest Night of the Year event taking place on Feb. 28. After that, the next event on their radar is on Saturday, March 7 – a St. Patrick’s Day pub night taking place at the Legion with music by the Sheridan Band starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased from any Kinette member, by emailing stmaryskinetteclub@gmail.com or calling 519-272-6129.
