Rotary golf ball drop fundraiser to support STARS

The Weyburn and Estevan Rotary Clubs are busy selling tickets for the golf ball drop, coming up on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 6 p.m. at the Weyburn Golf Club.

Tickets are $5 each from any Rotary member, and gives ticket buyers the chance to win one of three cash prizes.

There will be a prize of $5,000 for first, $3,000 for second and $1,000 for third, with the ticket number matched up with a number on the golf balls.

The balls for all sold tickets will be put into a giant bucket, lifted up by a crane over the hole, and released, with the first three balls to go in the hole to be the winners. A portion of the proceeds raised from the ticket sales will be donated to the STARS air ambulance service.

STARS ambulance is a lifeline for patients in rural, remote, and indigenous communities across Western Canada. They go wherever they are needed, using any transportation and tools necessary to reach patients and deliver the care that can save their lives.

Tickets are available at sale spots around the city each weekend, as well as at the Weyburn Review office and Barber Motors front desk.
