Charitable Organizations
The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation proudly supports registered charitable organizations of Northern Alberta through 50/50 draws that take place during Edmonton Oilers home games.

Tickets are $5 each, 3 for $10 or 10 for $20 and can be purchased until the middle of the second intermission, with one lucky winner taking home 50% of the pot. 

In return for providing a group of volunteers to run the 50/50, participating charitable organizations will receive $8,000.  Please note that these proceeds may only be used for uses currently approved by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.

The remaining proceeds will be be used by the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation in support of the redevelopment of Inner City High School, our ICE School program and other programs supporting education and health and wellness for youth throughout Oil Country.

Applications for the 2012-2013 season are no longer being accepted.  Please check back in May 2013 at which time the application process for the 2013-2014 season will be available.

 

Guidelines

To participate in the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation 50/50 program, charitable organizations must be:

  • registered with the Canada Revenue Agency and have a nine-digit BN Number that is followed by “RR0001”.  If you are unsure about your organization's charitable status and/or number, please visit the Canada Revenue Agency online

  • be registered and in good standing with the Alberta Liquor & Gaming Commission and must be eligible to receive gaming proceeds in accordance with AGLC policies

  • focus on educational and/or health and wellness programs that support youth.
Participating charitable organizations must supply between 57-60 volunteers for the allocated game night.  Volunteer duties include selling tickets using the handheld units, counting cash, and various other duties in the count room.  More details will be provided if your organization is selected to participate.

Volunteers must arrive 2.5 hours prior to the start of the game and will be expected to work into the third period of play, for a total commitment of approximately five hours.

Each charitable organization selected to participate must sign a Participant Agreement with the EOCF.  In addition, the Executive Director or Volunteer Coordinator of all selected charities will be required to attend an information session prior to the season.
