The Kinsmen Club of Sudbury 40th and FINAL Showcase Sweepstakes and 50/50 draw is happening now!
“We are just seven aging Sudbury Kinsmen members,” confessed club member Mary Jane Drury. “We decided two years ago that the 40th would be the last Showcase Sweepstakes. It’s just too much work for our small but mighty club. Hundreds and hundreds of volunteer hours are needed throughout the year to pull it all together.”
The final showcase home is stunning. It’s a two-story, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath brick and siding home on Nottingham Ave. in Sudbury valued at over $900,000. “And there’s a bonus package worth over $45,000,” exclaimed Drury. “That includes kitchen appliance, window coverings, security, central vacuum, and so much more.” To enjoy the virtual tour of the showcase home, click here.
Drury added that community members have responded favourably to this year’s home. “They really like the one-floor living, where the primary suite, living area, kitchen and laundry are all on the main floor, while secondary bedrooms are upstairs with a large family room. They also commented that the in-floor heating on the main floor is a bonus, and a two-car garage is always a nice feature to have. They really like the location, too.”
The Sweepstakes is sponsored by a myriad of local businesses, for whom the Sudbury Kinsmen are very grateful. “Many of our sponsors have been with us for years. We really couldn’t do it without them!” enthused Drury. “We have so many prizes to give out, thanks to them, so there are lots of chances to win fantastic local prizes, not just the showcase home.” For a full list of prizes, click here.
Zulich Homes is the home builder and of course the entire project wouldn’t be possible without this incredible local company. “We owe Zulich Homes so much,” said Mary Jane. “They are so good to work with, meticulous, and their attention to detail and quality is outstanding. They really care about delivering a quality product that will be wonderful to live in for years to come.”
Along with the Showcase Sweepstakes is the annual Kinsmen 50/50 draw, always a popular item as well for ticket buyers. And where does the money raised go?
“All of the money raised from this initiative goes to local charities, keeping it local,” said Drury. “This year, 16 local charities will benefit from the proceeds from the Showcase Sweepstakes and 50/50 draw.”
Tickets for the Showcase Sweepstakes are one for $100, three for $200, or six for $300 and can be purchased here. Tickets for the 50/50 draw are one for $10, three for $25, and five for $40 and can be purchased here.
“I’ve been telling people, might as well buy three or six tickets, you won’t be able to buy any next year!” laughed Drury. “We really hope as it’s the last year, that we can sell out our tickets, help our local charities and really finish off this project with a bang!”
What will become of the seven Sudbury Kinsmen members? “Oh, the club is carrying on, and looking for new members,” smiled Drury. “We hope to help out with local projects by lending ourselves out to do community clean ups, assist with events, gardening, whatever help local organizations are looking for. We are still here for our community!”
The closing date for tickets sales for the Early Bird Draw is June 1 at midnight, so get your tickets now, here.
