Over 300 entries. About $1,000 raised for local charities. Five broadcasts. Six qualifiers.
One winner.
Earlier this morning, we gave away the ULTIMATE prize: a $3,000 trip to wherever they want to go! Congratulations to Bev Holinaty, as she gets to Jet Outta Town with a travel voucher from Denise Taylor at TravelOnly! She told us she was barely awake when we called her.
"It was on my mind all night, thinking 'I wonder who's gonna win it' but I was going to be happy for whoever won it," she shared.
Bev's ballot was pulled from the entries at our October 10 broadcast at The Brick, where we were also taking double entries after a donation to the Children's Miracle Network, which directly benefits the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital in Saskatoon. She admitted that she really wasn't expecting to win the contest - she was just there to donate to the cause. Her $10 donation turned into a $3,000 dream vacation.
"I just feel good about [donating], helping somebody. You never know when you're family is going to need it or whatever. I just feel good about donating to worthy causes."
She's donated to a lot of causes in the past, namely STARS or the Children's Hospital. Bev added that she's had family members who have used those charities' services before, which motivated her to donated that day.
So where is she going? That's still up in the air. "I'm getting a lot of calls from friends that are saying 'Wherever! I'll come!'," she joked.
Bev shared that she doesn't get to travel often. Her first time on a plane was when she took her late husband to Calgary after he was diagnosed with cancer.
