The RCMP is betting on the community to help kids in crisis.
Cops for Kids has launched on online 50/50 raffle, with a jackpot that could reach up to $10,000.
Tickets are available at , giving you the chance to win big while supporting children in crisis across Southeastern B.C.
Funds raised from the raffle will go directly toward meeting the ongoing requests from local families facing medical, physical, or traumatic challenges. Whether it's travel for treatment, medical equipment, or specialized therapies, your support helps families when they need it most.
When purchasing a ticket, you can also choose which Cops for Kids rider to support, with your contribution counting toward their $2,500 fundraising goal— the minimum needed to participate in the Cops for Kids Ride this September.
These dedicated law enforcement members train and fundraise year-round to help kids in their own communities.
This raffle is a fun and easy way for people to support the ride and the kids who depend on us,
said Brent Mundle, president. The best part? You could walk away with a significant cash prize, knowing you’ve made a real impact.
The raffle is hosted securely by Rafflebox.ca, and the jackpot will grow with every ticket sold, up to a maximum of $10,000. One lucky winner will take home 50 per cent of the final jackpot, with the other half going to help local kids.
