Last year, one lucky winner took home $107,000. This year, the jackpot is expected to be even bigger, offering an incredible opportunity for your club, association, or team to raise substantial funds. The goal this year is to raise $350,00 total with 50% of that going directly to our members and member programming.

“One of our organisation’s top priorities is to continue to provide our membership with opportunities to grow, provide inclusive opportunities and enhance programming for participants. The provincial 50/50 initiative helps to accomplish these goals by providing access to our members a unique fundraising opportunity. This also remains an opportunity to keep bringing our Football Ontario community together by striving for a singular goal.” says Aaron Geisler, Chief Executive Officer of Football Ontario.
