The draw date for the Okotoks Dawgs 50/50 is coming up fast.

Dawgs VP of Marketing, William Gardner, says the money in the pot's going up fast too.

"We're at the $16,000 mark. And wouldn't it be tremendous just to give a big final push? Get us to that $20,000 mark, that would be a $10,000 jackpot to the lucky winner."

Gardner, says the money they raise will go a long way towards keeping the Dawgs going after missing the last season because of COVID.

"It makes a tremendous dent for us in our operating costs and getting us through the winter. We of course of looking forward to a season in 2021. And just trusting that all will go well, we'll welcome everyone back to Seaman Stadium next year. But this does go a long way in carrying us through the winter."
