The story behind the Kids Camp Lottery...
Through the donations of our generous partners, the proceeds from seven G.A.M.E events have so far topped $600,000 of the total $3million raised to help Camp Brebeuf complete renovations to ensure their facility will be able to meet today's standards. When this multi-year project is complete, the facility will be barrier-free and capacity will also be increased by roughly 10%, meaning room for nearly 300 additional kids each year.
Unfortunately, Covid-19 hit everyone hard and our community charities were no exception. Goemans was forced to cancel the 2020 and 2021 G.A.M.E tournaments, creating a severe funding deficit for the CYO. Out of this challenge, the Kids Camp Lottery was born. In 2022, the Kids Camp Lottery is back as well as the G.A.M.E so we hope to make this a banner year for support of CYO kids camps.
The Kids Camp Lottery assembles a hot prize list that has something for everyone. Starting at only $5 a ticket, you can show your support for this great cause and have a chance to win one or more of these amazing prizes! Purchase your tickets online and help us make a difference in the lives of our most cherished family members, our children.
The story of the Kids Camp Lottery actually begins seven years ago. In 2014, the Goemans Family held a golf tournament to honour the memories of Hunter and Tony Goemans. This event was named the Goemans Annual Memorial Event (G.A.M.E) and the beneficiary was the Catholic Youth Organization and their Hamilton area youth camps, Marydale and Brébeuf. These camps allow many underprivileged and special needs children from all faiths and backgrounds, the opportunity to enjoy outdoor recreation regardless of the physical abilities, in a safe environment where they can build strong friendships and make memories that will last a lifetime.
