Raffle to support two Courtenay boys set for Saratoga Sunday

A reminder you can support the dreams of two boys by buying a raffle ticket at Saratoga Speedway.

Several fundraisers will take place on Sunday, including Help Fill a Dream Foundation’s 50/30/20 raffle, with the hopes of raising $50,000, with half of the money going to support two boys from Courtenay, Ronin and Gavin.

This raffle comes as both Ronin and Gavin’s dreams were approved by the Foundation’s Dreams program.

Foundation Executive Director Craig Smith says eleven-year-old Ronin’s dream is to travel to Disney World with his family this December, while fifteen-year-old Gavin’s dream is to attend the Bovington Tank Fest in Dorset, England this June.

Smith says the fundraiser needs to sell out in order to raise the money needed as the dreams cost $24,000.

As of now, $7,300 has been raised.

The raffle draw will take place at Saratoga Sunday at 3:00 p.m.
