Info and details in the photos! Hope to catch you there.
I’m not in Canada so I almost definitely can’t enter the raffle, but out of curiosity what are the prizes?
typically prizes I’ve seen have included shredlights, clothing
and protective gear and things like that. They also do a special “golden ticket” lottery thing for a whole escooter, they might give away an EUC I’m not sure I’ve only seen people win the scooter.
Every event is different, it’s a mix of what our event sponsors provide, but usually includes everything from 50-100.00 gift cards for amazon, starbucks, cineplex (canadian theatre chain), gift cards to local PEV stores like Fatwhip Scooters and Eevee’s, helmets and pads, padded shirts and jackets. Recently at our last event with gave away a Adidas prize bundle which came with a really nice hoodie and ball cap as well as a backpack. For this particular event we have two complete Loaded Boards longboards, 100.00 gift cards for amazon and cineplex, 50.00 gift cards to the local pev shops, and some accessories like horns and tire pumps. All our prizes also come with sticker packs. We also do a end of the year giveaway that usually consists of a choice between a couple escooters or electric skateboards.
I should also add our prizes raffles used to be free, so you would get a ticket for just showing up, but we decided to make it a paid raffle and we donate the funds collected to various charities. So far, in the last year we have raised over $5000.00 for different charities and organizations like Doctors Without Borders, BC Cancer Society, and The Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Just a quick reminder, all Vancouver ESK8 events are weather pending, please check our social channels on facebook and instagram for event and weather updates. If it rains, we will postpone to the following week.
