Madison Rotary Wants To Go 50/50 With You

MADISON, NJ - With so much attention on the big buck lottery tickets, the Madison Roatary wants residents to take a chance locally with better odds. Specifically, they want people to purchase tickets for their annual 50/50 fundraiser.

In its 35th year, this project accounts for the major portion of funds which will be distributed at the Club’s Annual Charitable Distribution in May 2019. The 2018 program gave over $40,000 to over 45 local charities, non-profits and high school scholarships.

Other fund-raising activities include the Taste of Madison, Bottle Hill Day sales of hot dogs and hamburgers, and most recently the Community Shredding Day.

There are 600 tickets to be sold at a cost of $100 per ticket. If all tickets are sold, the prize money will be awarded in the following amounts: First Prize: $20,000; Second Prize: $5,000; Third Prize: $3,000; Fourth Prize: $1,200 and Fifth Prize: $800. Winning tickets will be drawn on Thursday, Dec. 13 at the Rotary Holiday Luncheon at noon at the YMCA.

Tickets may be purchased through any Madison Rotarian. For further information, contact 50/50 Committee Co-chairs Jen Pinto at Jenniferlynnpinto@gmail.com or Tayfun Selen at selentayfun@gmail.com.
