Time is quickly running out for football fans to buy 50/50 tickets to help support football in Prince George.
The deadline to buy tickets for the Prince George Kodiaks’ Kickoff 50/50 is at midnight tonight (Wednesday), with the draw taking place tomorrow.
As of 12.30 this afternoon, the jackpot total stands at over $25,000
Players and team staff are at Vista Radio’s Prince George headquarters today, selling 50/50 tickets, season tickets, and team merchandise.
“They go to support our youth programming in the community,” said Business Operations Manager Scott Stoughton.
“It allows us to help keep our registration fees as low as possible, we’re trying to make sure our programming is accessible to all.”
Stoughton said the club offers a wide range of youth programs.
“In the offseason, we run some off season training, we call it Selects training, which is sort of our premiere developmental stuff for kids 10-18 years of age,” Stoughton explained.
“In the spring, we run an NFL Flag program that runs for two months, lots of fun to be had there, great way to get introduced to football and learn the game and have some fun. In the fall, starting in August we run a youth tackle league that will have a K-3 contact tackle group, we’ll have a [grade] 4-5 tackle group and a grade 6-7 tackle group as well.”
50/50 tickets are also available online here.
The Kodiaks will kick off their season at Masich Place Stadium on July 20th against the Vancouver Island Raiders.
