Our club…The Kiwanis Club of Cape Breton Golden K… has 40 years of experience supporting youth and vulnerable adults in our community. Our donations of support have been consistently strong and well-known throughout that time. As need and community population increase yearly, so does our goal to assist those in need. In addition to our 40 year project of TV Bingo on Wednesday evenings (which raises funds always given back to community) we have initiated a Raffle Box draw. Only in its second week right now we are looking forward to ticket buyer numbers and therefore prize money available to be won…to increase steadily. We sell the tickets online as happens in all Raffle Box draws and the winner…selected by random generator, is chosen at 4 pm EVERY THURSDAY on site at our club 54 Westmount Road, Sydney River. Please consider helping us increase our sales by SHARING our draw with ANY family or other friends you have who may like to take part. It really does TAKE A VILLAGE to make anything worthwhile…a success. CBGoldenK5050.com

Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-15 7:09 PM ADT Reply 0 0 Our Rafflebox draw is only in its third week as of September 13th so stay tuned to our support increase... by those who purchase tickets TO SUPPORT YOUTH AND VULNERABLE ADULTS in OUR COMMUNITY. The SMALLEST PURCHASE ( donation) may indeed be...THE BIGGEST WIN.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-16 8:36 PM ADT Reply 0 0 Where else can you support youth in your community weekly for as little as $5? Join us in our effort to help those in need in OUR community with our Cape Breton Golden K RAFFLEBOX draw. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS…and YOU could be the 50/50 winner at any time. Let’s DO THIS THING together. cbgoldenk5050.com
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-17 9:49 AM ADT Reply 0 0 On behalf of the entire 36 member Cape Breton Golden K Club, thank you for any donation to our Raffle Box initiative that you HAVE MADE or CAN MAKE.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-17 9:51 AM ADT Reply 0 0 There's not many places where support for youth and vulnerable adults in our community...one time...or once a week...can be made for as little as $5.00. Our club's newest endeavor to support those in need in our community is our Raffle Box weekly draw. Many of you buy tickets for other organizations with prizes in the thousands and we understand that. They've been at it...as a rule... for a MUCH longer time. We are only in our third week and we WILL INCREASE our potential wins for supporters... but for now...we ask for...and appreciate...your support in OUR Raffle Box weekly draws as we grow into this. If there is such a thing as a BIG WIN...it certainly is the one that comes from the heart...most of all.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-19 1:21 PM ADT Reply 0 0 TODAY IS DRAW DAY! As we finish our third week with our Rafflebox draw and as the draw time approaches ( 2 1/2 hours from this post) we have $330 on the FUNDS RAISED THIS WEEK. We know those of you, who know the NEED in our local community... will continue to share our newest endeavor to assist youth and vulnerable adults in our area and that when you can, you will support us by buying a ticket. Remember that 50% of the money raised each time WILL GO BACK TO COMMUNITY and 100% of the pride our Golden K Club has in adding this initiative to our extensive list of ways to help others in need... comes down to us BEING Cape Bretoners. There IS no bigger WIN!
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-20 6:37 PM ADT Reply 0 0 Our club membership is small...36 right now...COMPARED TO SOME OTHER service clubs... but it's growing significantly again...in the past 3 years... since Covid took its toll on us...on everyone. We are DEDICATED TO and SOLEY SERVE youth and vulnerable adults and we appreciate all support of our new fund raising endeavor...the Raffle Box draw. Just three weeks in...we may not match the monetary win of other Raffle Box Draws but we certainly match the heartstring hope of any group trying to support those in need...in their community. Find us on Rafflebox.com under Non Profits or a direct link www.cbgoldenk5050.com. Thank you for any support you give us...as WE give to our community. Last week's winner: Linda Davis of Coxheath. Let's get YOUR NAME on that 50/50 winner's list next week. CHECK US OUT PLEASE!
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-21 2:56 PM ADT Reply 0 0 Thanks to EACH AND EVERY person who bought ANY number of tickets In ANY of our Cape Breton Golden K Raffle Box draws in support of those in need in our community. In our club…our hearts are ALWAYS FULL as we volunteer in our community… but even moreso when OUR SUPPORT…is supported so generously.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-22 8:36 PM ADT Reply 0 0 September 22 Firstly...happy autumnal equinox 2024 to everyone and also, thanks for any support you may give to our Raffle Box draw now in its fourth week. The Kiwanis Club of Cape Breton is filled with members who are long time community volunteers but we are, admittedly, new at this funds raising venture. We hope you'll spread the word to anyone you think would like to donate to youth and vulnerable adults in our community via this effort. PEOPLE YOU KNOW may not have heard about it so kudos to those of you who are WITH US IN THIS and SHARE!
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-25 8:54 AM ADT Reply 0 0 This week our Raffle Box Draw is up to $145.00 as of this post...early Wednesday, Sept.25th. Some may think...um...that's not very much money compared to other Raffle Box Draws and that may be true BUT... Our thinking is that every dollar spent on THESE Raffle Box tickets MAY bring a win to you as a purchaser but will bring a win to someone... and WILL BRING A WIN to youth in need and vulnerable adults in our area because OUR CLUB'S 50% goes back into OUR community. Thank you for assisting us with ANY AMOUNT you can... after all... a SINGLE TICKET will be the winner.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-09-27 4:19 PM ADT Reply 0 0 Congratulations to our Rafflebox winner this week...Darren Leblanc of Sydney. His 50% of funds brought in to help us support our youth in local communities is $ 107.50 Thank you to ALL THOSE WHO PURCHASED TICKETS...for being there for us this week.

WE APPRECIATE ANY SUPPORT you give to this endeavor to raise funds to aid youth and vulnerable adults in our area.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-06 5:01 PM ADT Reply 0 0 The Kiwanis Club of Cape Breton Golden K...which is made up of retirees who volunteer because they want to pay back to community after retirement. Our Raffle Box Draw now in its 6th week is not showing a huge amount of money for the 50/50 split at this point. We KNOW full well how many other DRAWS there are with a HUGE possible win but...regardless...we thank those of you who HAVE supported us and please know we will continue to hope for more supporters so that more youth and vulnerable adults in OUR coverage area...will also see their support system grow.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-08 10:56 AM ADT Reply 0 0 As of Tuesday October 8th our ticket purchases for our RaffleBox Draw total 11. The amount of money raised is $185 which will be split 50/50 between the person who's name is randomly drawn by Raffle Box, and the club seeking to add more funds to the amount we can spend.helping our community. PLEASE CONSIDER supporting our initiative if even once. TRUST ME we know full well that donations to charities and NON PROFIT organizations are important to some of you and yes...you have options to donate and have a much BIGGER 50% win than our club offers AS YET...We are definitely going to continue as long as we can in EVERY project we have going...thank you more than is imaginable...to those who have already shown their support to our Raffle Box draw. Have an amazing day!
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-09 8:40 AM ADT Reply 0 0 HEY EVERYONE...tomorrow, OCTOBER 10th 8 members of our club will head to LOAVES AND FISHES here in Sydney from 8:30- 12:00 helping to prepare...serve...and clean up after the meal to patrons there. We do this SEVERAL times a year and also donate $1000.00 each time...IF WE HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE! Please consider purchasing at least one ticket to our RAFFLE BOX DRAW this week. The draw is Thursday at 4pm... your purchase will allow you to know that YOU have helped dissipate the need in YOUR COMMUNITY. REMEMBER...ALL FUNDS WE RAISE GO BACK TO COMMUNITY!
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-10 8:06 AM ADT Reply 0 0 Heading to Loaves and Fishes in Sydney for an 8:30 "call to arms." We have 8 members signed on for the 2 1/2 hour shift helping prep,serve and clean up after a delicious meal for patrons. It renders the heart to give hands on AND monetary support to those in need.

If you want to support us in our pledge to support other, please consider checking us out at cbgoldenk5050.com
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-11 6:55 PM ADT Reply 0 0 After our most recent Raffle Box prize draw...I have to say… that as a long-time and very active member of the PR Committee of the Cape Breton Golden K… I came to a realization... OUR WEEKLY TICKET PURCHASE TOTALS (though in all honesty… not as many as we initially hoped for in the Raffle Box project’s beginning)… are DEFINITELY an assurance that our supporters know FULL TILT...as WE ALWAYS HAVE… that even the smallest bill of all…five dollars can help make a difference in someone else’s life. Thanks BEYOND WORDS for continuing to take a chance on us and what we do for our community..
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-12 11:57 AM ADT Reply 0 0 Today's POST is not specifically about RaffleBox, though through that initiative we collect funds to donate to our community. Today...On behalf of all 37 members of the Cape Breton Golden K... a group that knows only too well that NEED is greater in our community than the resources we have to delete it... Today and this LONG weekend when giving thanks is supposed to be what it's all about... I'd like to GIVE BIG THANKS to those of you who ALSO volunteer in our community to PAY IT FORWARD and to PAY IT BACK. Together we can at least make a DENT in the incredible and increasing need. Thank you for Caring.

Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-17 8:40 AM ADT Reply 0 0 IT'S DRAW DAY...4PM. Good luck to EVERYONE who purchased tickets this week. As of this post you have 7 hours and 15 minutes left...
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-20 11:00 AM ADT Reply 0 0 Last night at the annual general meeting of our Cape Breton Golden K Club we were reminded of OUR major contribution of money to our local community in the past year alone. It totaled over $90 000. To assist US in our continued monetary support to OUR/YOUR youth and vulnerable adults.. we again ask you to consider purchasing even one ticket.to our weekly Raffle Box draw. $5 may sound like a mere DROP IN THE BUCKET but it may be JUST THE DROP that fills the bucket. THANK YOU If you read this and want to make any comment at all...please do.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-23 6:23 PM ADT Reply 0 0 With 22 hours left before our weekly RaffleBox draw...our total stands at $175. Admittedly our VERY active VOLUNTEER group of 37 RETIREES, who support youth and vulnerable adults in your area hope that you will consider even a $5 donation that may be a stettpig stone to others doing the same thing. Regardless...we hope you will SHARE any posts you read/receive about our club, this weekly draw or our long-time Wednesday evening TV Bingo games.so that our clubs available funds each week, can make an impact on the desperately high level of need in our community. Thank you so much.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-24 11:42 AM ADT Reply 0 0 Because EACH YEAR our club donates...as a rule... 90+ thousand dollars to community and 600+ hands on support hours, we're hoping that before 4pm today...and every Thursday which is draw day, you will consider supporting our Raffle Box Draw ANY funds from which, GO BACK TO COMMUNITY. Even one ticket at $5 may seem like JUST A DENT...and not important...its HUGELY important and helpful TO US. Thanks to those who SHARE this draw info with their friends to those who have purchased any tickets any week and tho those who say today... I will do this and support MY COMMUNITY. Thank you on behalf of all 37 members/volunteers.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-27 10:27 AM ADT Reply 0 0 We're into another week of our Raffle Box Draw to support YOUTH AND VULNERABLE ADULTS in your community. We're building faster so far this week which is VERY NICE to see. The Cape Breton Golden K is WELL AWARE of the need here locally because of our commitment to volunteering since our "retirement." and we appreciate any number of tickets you buy ANY week. Even $5 for one ticket is more than many people have in their pockets these days. Bless us every one!
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-10-31 10:25 AM ADT Reply 0 0 FABULOUS NEWS! Our Raffle Box Draw for today, Thursday October 31, is going extra well. It stands at $455 with 4+ hours left. The draw is at 4pm exactly each Thursday and if you win, you will receive a message shortly thereafter. Now, $455 may not sound like much to people seeking out the many HIGH WIN AMOUNT Raffle Box Draws...but IF you only purchased one ticket, at $5... you could win $227.50. Those are pretty good odds. Thanks for supporting our Kiwanis Club of Cape Breton Golden K RaffleBox...thanks for considering doing so sometime soon.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-06 8:44 AM AST Reply 0 0 As of this post, November 6th at 8:30...272 tickets have been sold for our Rafflebox weekly draw that ends at 4pm tomorrow...for this week. Thanks to those who continue to support us through this attempt to garner more funds to support need in our...YOUR...community. 1 day and 6+ hours left to make a purchase. Please consider putting us and by osmosis people in need... on your TO DO list today.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-08 9:43 AM AST Reply 0 0 Our Raffle Box draws take place at 4pm every Thursday. This Thursday's winner was James Skinner with $227.50 in his pocket that was not there at 3:59 yesterday. Thanks for your support James!
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-11 8:55 AM AST Reply 0 0 Though the Cape Breton GOLDEN K club works consistently to support our community in many ways every day of the year, the start to this week's Raffle Box draw for community support funds is going slowly. One ticket in support is $5 and could lead to a large multiplication of that amount should your name be drawn...this Thursday, Nov. 13th at 4pm. Sometimes the "saying," little things mean a lot." is MUCH MORE than just a "saying." Thank you for considering a purchase.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-16 7:32 AM AST Reply 0 0 As a team of 37 retirees with a dedication to community our club spends thousands of hours yearly, out giving HANDS ON support to those in need and we CONSISTENTLY donate $90,000+ dollars to programs benefiting youth and vulnerable adults. As with ALL Raffle Box draws, 1/2 of any funds raised goes to the draw winner and the other 1/2 is used by us in SUPPORT of OTHERS. We draw each Thursday at 4pm, and ask you to PLEASE CONSIDER...purchasing a ticket or tickets and join us in that way, to make even MORE of a positive impact on YOUR community. cbgoldenk5050.com
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-17 10:06 AM AST Reply 0 0 Its November 17th. Four days in... and four days left THIS WEEK...for us to UP THE ANTI on our Raffle Box Draw potential win FOR YOU. More tickets more chances for sure but it ONLY TAKES ONE purchase to have your name drawn. $5 for a potential to greatly multiply that amount. We give approximately $90 000 a year back to community through funds we have raised and our Raffle Box draws give us EVEN MORE POTENTIAL to help those in need here in our area. PLEASE HELP US...HELP YOUR COMMUNITY. cbgoldenk5050.com.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-17 8:45 PM AST Reply 0 0 On Saturday November 16th, our club started our volunteer shifts manning the "Kettles" for the Salvation Army, at Sydney River Walmart. We do 51 shifts of two hours each this month and 72 shifts of 2 hours each in December. Our KETTLE Committee chairman Don Matheson took the first shift of the season. POP BY AND SAY HELLO if you are shopping at that Walmart any day Monday to Saturday, 10am to 8pm.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-18 8:11 AM AST Reply 0 0 On behalf of the Kiwanis Club of Cape Breton Golden K I'd dearly like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to any and all people who care enough to SHARE news about the work our club does for community and to click a LIKE once in a while. TRUST ME...if you wanted to join a club where you can do a WIDE variety of things to help youth in our area...OURS IS THE CLUB. We don't do things for thanks...we do them for our hearts. You DO NOT have to be retired... Happiest of upcoming Christmas season to you all and THANKS...AGAIN....SO MUCH.
Debra Murray My Post Follow Me 2024-11-21 8:52 AM AST Reply 0 0 OK FOLKS... The "skinny" on our Raffle Box draw this Nov. 21st morning is that its up to $410 with 71/2 hours left, as of this post, before this week's draw. We have had 22 people purchase so far this week and 489 tickets sold. 22 people may not seem like much but at this point...we want to thank THOSE PEOPLE for supporting us in our mandate to support community. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS in a major way, for those IN NEED. www.cbgoldenk5050.com
