It started as a way to make up for lost fundraising opportunities when things shut down because of COVID. And in the two years since then, it has grown into the largest weekly 50/50 fundraising campaing of its kind in Canada. Andrew Wallis is with the Amherst Firefighters Association, the group that started organizing the weekly draw. It's gone from fewer than 10 fire departments to more than 250. And it's on course for prizes exceeding a million dollars in prizes over the holidays.
