The Sarnia Sting is pleased with its first online 50/50 fundraiser.
The digital campaign launched June 4 in conjunction with Friends of Sarnia Minor Hockey Youth & Education raised over $12,000 in sales with over $6,300 going to the Bluewater Health Foundation's COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund.
Randi Rogers, 37, of Sarnia was the lucky winner of the more than $6,000 jackpot prize.
The campaign included an early-bird draw that saw Jamie Schoettle take home a flex-10 ticket package for the 2020-21 Sting season and a pair of authentic game-worn Ryan McGregor hockey gloves.
Sting President Bill Abercrombie thanked everyone who made the fundraiser a success.
“We are tremendously grateful for our partners and the work of Friends of Sarnia Minor Hockey Youth & Education, led by Fred & Pat Sterling," said Abercrombie in a news release. "The work they do allows the Sarnia Sting to use our platform to directly contribute to local community organizations who need it, we can’t thank them enough.”
