Community Pledge for Progress

50/50 Draw

The Greater Moncton Progress Club, Community Pledge for Progress 50/50 is a weekly draw to help our club raise money for kids in need throughout the community.

Our Service Club organization has operated in Greater Moncton since 2001 and nationally since 1922. Our Club mission, through the eyes of a child we serve to build a stronger community, is more than just another tagline; it is our guiding principle. We don’t just raise and distribute funds; we often get involved and invest in sweat equity with our charity partners. Whether it is charitable donations, helping a family going through a crisis, swinging a hammer or painting a fence at a local charity, we are driven to help children do what’s important for them: grow up healthy, have fun and live life to the fullest. The activities we undertake and the causes we support always focus on improving the lives of young people and their families in our local community. We are proud to say that 100% of all the funds we raise stay local.

In supporting children and families, we take a unique approach from other important organizations in the community. For example, rather than buy medical equipment for our hospitals, we focus on the small things that often get overlooked, like toys, games and family room furnishings that make a difficult time more bearable for sick children and their families. We keep many Christmas trees for needy families from being bare on Christmas morning by sending out food, stockings and presents. We buy renovation materials and provide the labour to help some of our local charities keep from falling apart.

Through this weekly 50/50 draw, we will be able to support more food programs in schools, help more kids get things they need like food, school supplies and much more, and help more families in our community get back on their feet. We ask you to pledge your support for our community by purchasing tickets to our draw!
