50/50 Fundraising | Comox Golf Club

Club 50/50 Raffle Draws at Comox

The Golf Club operates two types of 50/50 draws:

Divvy the Dough – a public bi-weekly draw
Daily Draws – held during leagues and tournaments

For both draws, 50% of proceeds go to the winner, with the remaining 50% allocated to capital improvements for the course and facilities. As examples, projects funded from these draws have included gravel for cart-paths, winter tee mats, and purchasing a second-hand mower.
