Kootenay Seniors, a program of Nelson CARES Society, has announce its 2025 50/50 Raffle.
This fundraising initiative gives British Columbians the chance to win up to $10,000 while directly supporting seniors’ transportation services in our community.
For many older adults in the Kootenay region, getting to essential appointments, errands, and social gatherings can be difficult, especially for those who no longer drive.
Kootenay Seniors helps bridge that gap by providing safe, affordable rides with the help of a dedicated team of volunteer drivers, many of whom are seniors themselves.
“This program is truly neighbours helping neighbours,” said Karin Bayoff, Transportation Coordinator at Kootenay Seniors.
“Our volunteer drivers not only provide transportation, but also connection, compassion, and dignity.”
Tickets are just $10 and available to B.C. residents only.
They can be purchased online at www.kootenayseniors.ca or in person at 205 Hall Street or 805 Nelson Avenue in Nelson.
Draw Date: Wednesday, October 1, 2025
Proceeds benefit seniors’ transportation in the West Kootenay region and every ticket purchased helps keep this essential service running and ensures seniors in our community stay mobile, connected, and supported.
