Great Plains College Sundogs launch new fundraiser

The inaugural Sundogs Raffle & “Pup” Rally fundraiser has been launched in order to support the Knight Dodge Sundogs Athletics program and scholarships.

A fund-raising raffle is now underway, with the prizes drawn at a familyfriendly “Pup” Rally event on October 3 that will include the introduction of the 2019 volleyball teams.

“We’re really happy about this new fundraising event because it will allow us to raise funds that will benefit the Athletics program and scholarships, and also build excitement for the upcoming season,” said Mona Patterson, Sundogs athletics and recreation coordinator at Great Plains College.

The raffle features five prize packages including a dining ($1,105 value), entertainment ($1,770 value), shopping ($1,885 value), travel ($2,613 value) and sports package ($3,200 value).

“We can’t thank the local business community enough for their generosity in supporting the raffle through donations of gift cards, tickets, accommodations, services and so much more,” said Dianne Sletten, donor services coordinator at Great Plains College. “There’s truly a package for everyone, and the proceeds are going to support our student-athletes for years to come.”

Tickets are $40 and each ticket will be entered to win all five prize packages. Only 500 tickets will be available and can be purchased at Great Plains College, Mercator Financial and Knight Dodge, or by contacting Dianne at 306778-5456 or development@greatplainscollege.ca.
