Raffle Supports Youth Curling Development

The Optimist Clubs of British Columbia in partnership with Curl BC are offering a $5,000 cash prize in a raffle to support youth curling development.  There also will be ten $500 prizes.

Tickets cost $20 each and are available from your local Optimist Club or your local curling club. Only 2,000 tickets will be sold.

The money raised from the annual raffle funds “I Rock the House” curling development camps throughout the province. At these camps, 15-17 year old juvenile curlers assist a professional trainer in teaching skills to the younger (9-11 year old) curlers.

The Optimist-Curl BC Junior Curling Raffle also supports:

• Coaches of youth curling teams across the province to become Competition Coach Certified;
• 2018 Optimist BC U18 Curling Championships;
• Rockslide Summer Curling Camp.
