UPDATE: DERBY MODIFIED DUE TO STAY HOME ORDER
With the Ontario government declaring a Stay at Home Order, the Cobden Civitan Club has had to modify the Fishing Derby fundraiser. We will not be able to have the fishing contest portion of the fundraiser as participants come from all over Eastern Ontario.
Therefore our fundraiser will proceed as follows:
• All derby tickets purchased will be eligible for a random draw of the 9 Cash Prizes for fishing.
• Upon completion of the Cash prizes draw all purchased tickets will then be eligible for the 10 Grand Prizes Draw
• Tickets will still be available to purchase up to Feb.13th.
• The Cash Prizes Draw, the 10 Grand Prizes Draw and the 50/50 draw will still be held on Feb. 14th at 1:00 pm live on the Cobden Civitan Club's Facebook Page. Winners will be contacted directly after the draw. Winners will also be posted on www.cobdencivitanclub.ca
With your support, proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit Renfrew Hospice!
Stay safe and thank you again for supporting our fundraiser.
