Wilberforce Penny Raffle

Every community has that one person who does all they can to make life better for others. In Wilberforce, that person is Kathy Rogers. She's the type of person who can be called on to take on any initiative that improves her town for those who live there. That's why she's hard at work, with the rest of the Wilberforce FUNraising Committee, getting everything ready for the upcoming annual Gigantic Penny Raffle & Spaghetti Dinner, taking place on Saturday, July 18th.Rogers spoke with CanoeFM recently to talk about this year's event. She says it's a great day of fun, fundraising and fellowship with both locals and cottagers.Rogers says the Penny Raffle is a much-loved event by the community. She says there's never an issue getting donations of specialty baskets and other raffle items. Some people spend all year getting items ready for the raffle and on the actual day, are thrilled to see who ends up with what.
