Ok, all 100% of regular ticket sales is going to the Southern Vancouver Island Anglers Coalition to help them help us! The coalition needs funds if they are going to be successful at fighting for the recreational fishery and our fish. I do have receipts for my out of pocket costs which I will recover but that is it. 100% of the side bet ticket revenues go to the winners of each side bet. There will be a 50/50 draw at Pedder Bay and those proceeds will go to the Charters River side channel project that will begin and finish this summer. A $60,000 improvement to Coho, Chum and Stealhead over winter and over summer habitat. This is money that will do immediate work to create more fish. Also the food services are being handled by the Charters River group (JDFSRS) and those funds are going to the same cause. The Sooke Food Bank will have a tote on site at Pedder Bay and any donated fish give you a chance at a nice prize in a separate draw. We also get a portion of proceeds of all T-Shirts being made and sold at Pedder Bay Marina all weekend. Sales, that is heading to the SVIAC.
IMPORTANT...there is only one more opportunity left to purchase side bet tickets. They will be available at Wise Buys on June 14th (the night before the derby) from 5-7pm at Wise Buy's in Colwood. I would like to make those tickets available at the vendors but it wouldn't be fair to them. They are trying to run a business and just one type of a ticket is already infringing on their time. I've already put in 6 hours selling tickets at Buffy's and the 6 Mile.
