HAGERSVILLE—Since it first became popular out east, Catch the Ace has become a favourite fundraising 50/50-type lottery event (with a progressive jackpot) that can only be run by a charitable non-profit organization for the benefit of non-profit charities and organizations.

The Hagersville Lions, in partnership with the Hagersville Chamber of Commerce, have ventured to set up a Catch the Ace event in benefit of the West Haldimand Hospital and Healthcare Foundation and the Hagersville Food Bank.

The Hagersville Legion has provided us with a location to hold this event at no cost. There, we sell the tickets once a week on Thursdays between 4:30 and 7:50 p.m., with the draw held at 8 p.m. (live streamed on the Hagersville Lions Facebook page).
