Humane Society launches Oasis 50/50 Raffle

Music fans and animal lovers could have a new reason to get excited.

The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo and Stratford Perth (HSKWSP) has announced its Oasis 50/50 Raffle, offering supporters a unique chance to win big while making a positive impact in their community.

The raffle’s grand prize includes a pair of Oasis Exhibition Fan Packages, with two tickets to see the iconic band live at Rogers Stadium in Toronto on August 24, 2025, $500 in travel cash, and half of the jackpot cash prize.

Half of the proceeds from every ticket sold go toward essential services like veterinary care, shelter support, and adoption programs for vulnerable animals in the Waterloo Region and Stratford Perth communities.

“It’s not every day you get the chance to win an unforgettable night and help animals in need,” says Victoria Baby, CEO of HSKWSP. “Every ticket helps us provide lifesaving care to pets who deserve a second chance.”

The winning ticket will be drawn on August 19 at 12:00 p.m. and the lucky winner will be announced online and notified by email.

Tickets are on sale now at humane-society-kw.myshopify.com.
