FAPA 2022 Raffle Information for Sellers

Information for Foothills Academy Parents

The annual raffle operated by the Foothills Academy Parents Association (FAPA) supports students at Foothills Academy.

Funds raised through the raffle and 50/50 draw support the bursary fund which is made available to any family in need of financial assistance to attend the school. 

We are very excited to launch our raffle website, and now look to you, our amazing Foothills families, to spread the word about the raffle. As there are no raffle venues in 2022, we will use social media reach of our families to drive ticket sales.

Please share the website link with family, friends, and co-workers, post the link to your various social media sites, and let’s get the word out and raise funds for the wonderful students of Foothills Academy! 

(Note that AGLC rules require that all ticket sales must be made by residents of Alberta who are 18 years of age and older.)

How do people purchase tickets?

The raffle ticket purchase process is quick and simple with our secure online ticket sales system. On the Foothills Academy FAPA raffle page, purchasers will see a few different “Buy Tickets” buttons, clicking any of these will take you to our secure ticket purchase page.

  • Main Raffle: Purchasers will select their ticket choice for the main raffle which enters them to win the truck or cash. They can purchase a single ticket or a bundle package.
  • 50/50 Raffle: They will also have the opportunity to purchase a 50/50 ticket or bundle. If all the 50/50 tickets sell, the jackpot will be $100,000 meaning that the winner will get $50,000!

  • Referred By: At the bottom of the Contact Information page there is a box asking if they were “Referred By” anyone. The name entered in the "Referred By" box will be used to track ticket sales against Family Commitment. So, this is an important step for our families selling tickets. Purchasers can enter either your child's name or your name.
