Hockey game and raffle raise funds for grad class

People can expect a fun game at the grad–teacher event

One of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the grad class at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School is underway, and will end with the always popular grad–teacher hockey game on Jan. 28.

Tickets for the grad raffle, which are $5 each, are now being sold, and are available from any member of the grad class. They can also be purchased from co-organizer Lori Cleave at Western Financial Group in 100 Mile House.

First prize is an Alaskan cruise valued at $3,000, and second prize is one night’s accommodation for two, plus three meals and spa services, at the Echo Valley Ranch & Spa. The package is valued at $700.

Third prize is a three-month membership and personal training service at Action Fitness, while the fourth prize is a $250 Safeway gift card.

The winners will be announced at the hockey game, which starts at 6:30 p.m. There will also be gift baskets drawn for at the game, and a raffle for two tickets to a Canucks game plus $350 spending money. Entry to the grad-teacher game is $5 at the door, and raffle tickets are $5 each.

The grad class will continue its fundraising with other events throughout the winter and spring, including face painting at the Cariboo Challenge at the end of this month, and a fashion show in April. However, the big raffle and hockey game are one of their most popular events.

People can expect a fun game,” says Cleave.

There are a lot of rookies out there, so it can be pretty comical. But it’s all in good fun.”
