Six Days left to potentially “Live Free for One Year”

One lucky Prince George resident will get to live free for a year.

The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Prince George are holding a raffle with a grand prize that contains groceries and gas for a year, as well as $12,000 cash.

Tickets are $20 each, with all proceeds going towards Big Brothers Big Sisters’ mentorship programs.

“We’re currently serving more kids than we ever have before, through a wide range of programs” said Executive Director Tim Bennet. “We want to be able to continue to grow, and to ensure that children who need a mentor get a mentor.”

With only six days remaining in the raffle there are still a lot of tickets that haven’t been sold.

“We’re sitting at about the fifty percent sold point right now, so some pretty good odds” said Bennet. “We’re really hoping for a few really good sales days just to make sure that we are raising as much as we can to support our local mentoring programs.”

Tickets can be bought at any Integris Credit Union, as well as the Big Brothers Big Sisters offices in the Kinsmen Community Complex or over the phone at 250-563-7410.
