A special thanks to all our 50/50 Volunteers

More than $58,000 volunteers raised through ticket sales!

Best Buddies would like to thank everyone who has participated in our 50/50 program so far this school year.

Since September, with the help of our volunteers we have raise over $58,000 by selling 50/50 tickets at a total of 29 Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Toronto Raptors games.

Volunteers have come from many of our chapters to help raise money and awareness for Best Buddies, as well as to enjoy pizza afterwards and watch the rest of the game live.

Some of these chapters are listed below:
Wilfrid Laurier University's Brantford campus, Pine Ridge SS, Mary Ward CSS, Jarvis CI, Crescent School, University of Toronto's Mississauga campus, University of Toronto's St. George campus, University of Ottawa, Glebe Collegiate Institute, Carleton University, Lisgar Collegiate Institute, Ecole Catholique Garneau, Loyalist College, and Ashbury College, St. Mary's CSS (Hamilton, ON), Sir John A. MacDonald CI (Toronto, ON), Havergal College, University of Toronto Schools, Heydon Park SS, St. Thomas Aquinas CSS (Tottenham, ON), Cardinal Newman CSS (Toronto, ON), York Mills CI, Danforth CI, Our Lady of Mount Carmel SS, St. Maximilian Kolbe CHS, and Ryerson University

Of the $58,000 raised so far, approximately 90% goes directly back to our chapters in the form of start-up funds, chapter event funding, the Annual Leadership Conference, merchandise such as t-shirts and Chapters/Indigo gift cards, as well as providing recruitment materials such as posters, pamphlets, postcards, and stickers.

We greatly appreciate everyone's help, and we look forward to beginning the Toronto Football Club season on Saturday, April 2nd!
If you or your chapter are interested in participating in one of our upcoming 50/50 games, you can view the schedule or you can email Kayla at kayla@bestbuddies.ca for more information.

Thank you again!
