Neebing Fire Rescue has kicked off the third year of its 50/50 draw, aiming to raise at least $60,000 to support the needs of Neebing Emergency Services. The funds will primarily go towards outfitting the upcoming new addition to the municipal office, which will house the fire department. The association has a long history of supporting the fire department through fundraising, having raised $280,000 worth of equipment over the past 22 years. The 2025 draw will feature four raffles throughout the year, with the first running until March 25th. Residents can also support the association through personal donations and participation in other fundraising initiatives.
The 2025 version of the fundraiser will focus on supporting the needs of Neebing Emergency Services.
“This project that's coming up with the fire department and the new building that's being added, it will be a big one and we'll try to raise at least $60,000 for that,” said Butikofer. Over the last 22 years, the association has raised enough money to purchase $280,000 worth of equipment for the fire department.
The 2025 draw will have four raffles during the year: one held now until March 25, the second in the next quarter at the end of June, a third in September and finally one at the end of December.“The total is shown on our website,” said Butikofer. “You can win half of that total. It's great for you and it's great for the organization.”
