Canada’s very first nationwide 50/50 draw is raising funds for Canadian Olympic athletes. Tickets sold in each jurisdiction also benefit a charity in that region, and Yukon’s charity is the Kids Recreation Fund.

The Kids Recreation Fund provides lower-income Yukon families an opportunity to apply for funding for their children to participate in sport and recreational activities within the Yukon.

For more information on the Kid’s Recreation Fund, including how to apply for funding, visit https://sportyukon.com/programs/kids-recreation-fund/

50/50 ticket buyers have a chance to win a 50/50 regional prize. The draw date is Aug. 1.

To date, the national 50/50 draw has raised over $2,000,000.
