Over $80,000 in prizes has been won in the YMCA of Southwestern Ontario's online 50/50 raffle so far this year.

Regional Manager Christina Harley said their third 'Win Big 50/50' draw is now live, with all funds raised supporting financial subsidies so everyone can take part in the YMCA's programs and services.

"We support memberships right across all of YMCA Southwestern Ontario's areas," said Harley. "One in three members actually require financial assistance, so every one of our branches require financial support. So we spread this right out for our entire association."

Harley said this draw includes an early bird prize for a one-year adult YMCA membership.

Tickets are available at winbigymca.ca

The grand prize draw will be held September 17.
