Canucks for Kids Fund Gets A Little Help from Coquitlam & Vancouver Firefighters

A big thank you to the Coquitlam and Vancouver Firefighters who came out to help sell Canucks for Kids Fund 50/50 tickets at Wednesday’s Canucks’ game, as part of RHINO.ca’s 50/50 night at Rogers Arena.

After putting on those fancy red sweatshirts, followed by a quick training session on the new digital tablets, our team of volunteers was ready to fan out around the concourse and sell, sell, sell! Thanks to new technology that allows sales to continue further into the game, the Canucks for Kids Fund 50/50 prizes have been bigger than ever, with average jackpots so far this season up around $35,000.

This was the first of three games this year that RHINO.ca will assemble a team of volunteers to help sell 50/50 tickets, and our first group had no trouble settling into the sales groove. There was even some friendly competition amongst the group as to who could sell the most, and we can’t wait for the results to see who will take home bragging rights.

After sales closed we made our way up to Level 400 to catch the rest of the game, which was not only a win by our Vancouver Canucks, but also a shutout for Roberto Luongo.

We love this aspect of our partnership with the Vancouver Canucks, which allows us to offer these fun volunteer nights to some great community groups. One down, two to go this season, and we look forward to our next 50/50 night coming up in March.

Thanks again to the Vancouver Fire Fighters and Coquitlam Firefighters for helping out!
