The Weyburn Rotary Club’s Golf Ball Drop fundraiser, held annually in conjunction with the Estevan Rotary Club, will be held at the Weyburn Golf Course on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 5 p.m.
The photos above show collecting the winning balls last year, and sorting the balls out for this year's drop.
The event raises money for the STARS Air Ambulance and for the two clubs.
Last-minute tickets are available by phoning 306-842-1781, or coming to the sale table at the Wholesale Club on Thursday, or at the Co-op Food Store on Friday.
The raffle offers three cash prizes, with $5,000 as the first prize, $3,000 as the second prize and $1,000 as third prize.
Tickets are $5 each, and the tickets are numbered, with the numbers corresponding with the golf balls, which are dropped from a crane. The first three to go into the hole are the winners of the cash prizes.
The funds will help the Rotary Clubs support their projects, which include funds to many local organizations and groups, as well as international projects, such as Shelterbox and eradicating polio.
The STARS Air Ambulance is also a major beneficiary of this fundraiser, as they provide emergency helicopter service to rural areas of Saskatchewan when medical services are required.
