About The Big 50/50

We are part of a worldwide fellowship dedicated to the support of local youth, our YMCA and your community. We offer our membership the opportunity to volunteer within their community to assist those less fortunate – locally and worldwide.

Make-a-Wish Canada is the largest and only all-Canadian wish granting charity dedicated to granting wishes to Canadian children between the ages of 3 and 17 who are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. For more than 30 years, Children’s Wish has worked tirelessly to grant heartfelt wishes to more than 25,000 children and their families – that’s three wishes each and every day, all year long!

We have two main missions. One is to provide scholarships to present and past Sea Dogs players to help them with their post secondary education during and after representing our city and the Sea Dogs organization. Secondly, the Foundation helps make life a little better to those in our community who are less fortunate. You, a family member or a neighbor may have benefited from the generosity of the Foundation over the years. We have contributed almost half a million dollars back to the community over the years.
