Days before Alison Duddy takes off from Prince George, she drew the winner of a rather large basket, or baskets.
The basket was raffled off, with tickets costing $2, to support Duddy and team B.C. in their quest to win nationals in Ottawa.
“It’s amazing how local businesses stepped up and donated for it,” she said.
“We were hoping for $800 – $1000. We raised nearly double that – around $1600.”
Between the last minute draw, fund raising from the curling club, cash donations by local businesses and her team mates’ fund raising the team has met their monetary needs.
Duddy leaves for Price George Thursday, taking off for Vancouver, and from there Ottawa, the next day.
Nationals run from Monday 24 – 31.
The nationals will be live streaming on the web, with feature games and live updates on the other games on the night.
The site http://wheelchaircurler.blogspot.ca/ has a link to the web streaming service for anyone wanting to watch the games live.
All four pictured baskets went to the same winner.
