Victim Services Huron launches online 50/50 draw fundraiser

Victim Services Huron has launched a new online fundraiser to replace fundraising dollars lost due to COVID-19.

The pandemic wiped out any type of live events and fundraisers this year, so Victim Services Huron has launched a new online 50/50 draw to fundraise for victims and volunteers in Huron County. The draw launched on December 2nd and runs until the 30th. The winner will be announced at 10 a.m. on December 31st. Tickets are available at victimservices.5050.ca and can be bought in different packages. Upon purchase, a receipt with the 50/50 registered numbers will be emailed, making them a great stocking stuffer this holiday season.

Victim Services Huron is a registered charity that works closely with police, emergency medical services, and social service advocates to ensure members of our community are supported during and immediately after a crisis or traumatic event.
