2009 SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL RAFFLE

Thank you to everyone who supported the NEZ Softball & Baseball Edmonton Eskimo Season Ticket Raffle for 2009! Through this important fundraiser approximately $4500.00 was raised for each of the ball programs. This money is used for all the "extras" for the players. Events such as the Softball Player Spring Camp, the Fun-A-Rama, the Baseball Rookie, Mosquito & Peewee Tournaments, the Rally Cap Days are all helped by these funds. Things like the water bottles full of candy, the penny carnival, helium balloons, t-shirts and bounce houses are all possible because of the money raised through these raffles. In addition a third of the funds are turned back to the teams that sell the tickets. The teams use this money for pictures, tournaments, year-end parties.....

So thanks you to the coaches, the players and their parents for their hard work selling the tickets and thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and helped to support minor ball in Northeast Edmonton. And congratulations to the raffle winners.
