The Bethany Pioneer Village held an online 50/50 to raise funds for upgrades to their tub rooms.

The grand prize winner was Jenna Diederichs of Middle Lake. She and her husband opened a new business in Middle Lake last year. When asked what she was going to do with her windfall she said they are expecting a new baby in July, so doing up a nursery for the new baby.

Baby Jesse Diederichs of Middle Lake and soon to be big sister.

The Village is a life plan community with multi-level care that houses around 100 residents. 

Patty Heath, fundraising coordinator talks about why they went with a 50/50.

"Unfortunately, with COVID, we haven't been able to do a lot of in-house fundraising. We had a Mother's Day tea planned; a fashion show planned but unfortunately, those all fell to the wayside because of COVID. So, we were trying to think of another way to raise some funds for our Bethany Village."

Tickets sold out very quickly.

"We started selling our tickets on Friday, January 29th and I am happy to say we are down to our last 44 tickets available for this draw."
