HITCHCOCK - The Hitchcock Hall sold out of their 50/50 tickets several days before the draw.
And once the draw was finished, Mindy Schoff, president of Hitchcock Hall, presented lucky winner Jeff Pratt of Estevan with 50 per cent of ticket sales proceeds, which were $2,500. The other half of the money will help maintain the hall, used for many great community events.
"We would like to thank everyone for participating in our 50/50 fundraiser," said Schoff. "We were able to sell all 500 tickets. With all tickets sold, we were able to fundraise a total of $2,500 for our hall. Jeff had also graciously donated a portion of his winnings back to the community as well."
With these funds, the hall will be able to do more updates on its building and keep its events going.
Their next community function will be Hitchcock Christmas Potluck. The hall has been putting this on for many years. Schoff said she used to attend them as a child and has been putting them on for almost 14 years as well.
"We usually all get together and enjoy a great meal, a visit from Santa and end the evening visiting and having horse-drawn sleigh rides," Schoff shared.
After a successful fundraiser, Hitchcock Hall plans to have another draw next year and they hope to have great success as they did with this one.
