After his sudden passing last year, the family of an 11-year-old boy is organizing a raffle to create something in his honour.
Brayden Robbins unexpectedly passed away on November 19, 2024, and his family is hosting a raffle to honour his legacy with new playground equipment at Queneesh Elementary.
The raffle is for a round-trip flight for two guests to fly anywhere with WestJet to honour Robbins’ love of airplanes and his dream of one day becoming a pilot.
Nikki Robbins, Brayden’s mom, said his love of flying brought so much joy to their family and everyone who knew him.
“He always dreamed of seeing the world, and now, through this raffle, his dream will continue to soar.”
Proceeds for the raffle will help install an adaptive swing, a three-hole basketball net, and a buddy bench to encourage connection among students at Robbins former school Queneesh Elementary.
Tickets are $10 each, with 2,000 available for purchase, and anyone over the age of 19 in B.C. wanting to purchase one is asked to email [email protected].
Once messaged, an e-transfer with your name, email, and phone number can be sent and a ticket stub will be returned to you.
