Ready to upgrade your ride? Nelson CARES Society is launching its Summer Fundraising Raffle, featuring a Pedego Avenue electric bike. Proceeds go directly to support the life-changing work of The Advocacy Centre.
The Advocacy Centre is a critical resource for low-income residents across the West Kootenays, offering legal information, education and problem-solving. They also provide Community-Based Victim Services for individuals impacted by relationship and sexual violence. Whether it’s helping people access income or disability assistance, navigate the family law system, or challenge unfair evictions, the Centre’s impact is wide-reaching and deeply personal. And they do it all for free!
“This raffle isn’t just about winning a bike,” says Amy Taylor, Program Manager of The Advocacy Centre.
“It’s about ensuring we can continue to support our community – whether they need help applying for Legal Aid, or securing government benefits, we’re here to help. This year, we’re so grateful to Pedego Canada for their support.”
Mike Clyde from Pedego Canada shares, “As a part of this amazing, vibrant community, I am very happy to be able to support Nelson CARES in their work to help vulnerable members of our city. What awesome work they do, helping us move towards more inclusive spaces and recognizing that housing is essential for everyone. Thank you, Nelson CARES!”
Tickets are only $10 each and are available on the website at www.nelsoncares.ca or in-person at Hall Street Place, 205 Hall Street. With a maximum of 1300 tickets sold, the chances of riding away in style are pretty high.
The Pedego Avenue E-Bike has a 48 Volt battery. A 7-speed drivetrain that provides smooth shifting and easy pedalling with 5 levels of pedal assist. Those pesky Nelson hills will bother you no more.
The draw will take place at the Nelson CARES Society head office at 205 Hall Street and live on their Facebook page on Monday, Sept 15th. The winner will be contacted by phone and/or email.
Nelson CARES Society and The Advocacy Centre would like to thank everyone who purchases a ticket and especially Mike Clyde for his support of this raffle.
