Buying Conservation Dinner 50-50 tickets gives you chance to win while helping to support local projects
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation (ABCF) is selling 50-50 raffle draw tickets, leading up to the Conservation Dinner, in support of local community projects. There are 1,000 tickets printed and the cash prize could be as high as $5,000 if all tickets are sold. Tickets are $10 each.
Chris Keller, of the Exeter Lions Club, is Chair of the Conservation Dinner Committee. “Buying 50-50 raffle draw tickets, to raise money for community projects of the Conservation Dinner, is a great way to show support for your community while also having a chance to win a large cash prize,” he said.
The Conservation Dinner is a community fundraiser of the Conservation Foundation, the Exeter Lions Club, and the watershed community. The 50-50 Raffle Draw is to be held during the 34th Conservation Dinner, on Thursday, April 11, 2024 at 9 p.m. at South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter.
50-50 draw tickets are available now. People can buy their ticket from any Exeter Lions Club or Conservation Dinner Committee member. They can also contact Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation (at the office at 71108 Morrison Line, east of Exeter, just south of Highway 83) or by phone at 519-235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610.

Net proceeds from the draw are to be donated to local community projects.

The Exeter Lions Club’s 50-50 Raffle Draw was also online in 2021. It had a record prize of $6,300.00 and the winner was Jeanette Parker (winning ticket number 99396823144).
Ten tickets were $10; 60 tickets for $20; or 200 tickets for only $50.

Tickets were all sold electronically through the website and tickets are emailed to the buyer once purchased.
Buying a 50-50 ticket online is a way to support community projects while still practicing safe social distancing.
“We are proud to be able to support needed community projects through the 50-50 draw,” said Mark Keller, President of the Exeter Lions Club. “This is just one of the ways the Exeter Lions Club helps our local community,” he said. “It’s really a win-win when people have a chance to win a big prize and are able to help their community all at the same time.”
Organizers say supporting the 50-50 draw was a great way to support local community projects even when some live events were postponed.
Virtual Conservation Dinner Committee Chair Dave Frayne thanks the Exeter Lions Club for having hosted this draw to support parks and recreation and conservation projects in the community.
