2024 Christmas Raffle Winner – 50/50 Draw – LGCA 5039-RF-46279:

During the River City Sound ‘That’s Christmas To Me’ concert held on November 30 at Prairie Spirit United Church, a 50/50 draw was held which raised $984.00 in total sales. The winning ticket, number 551169, was claimed by G. Newton of Winnipeg, who received half of the total: $492.00, and our Congratulations! The other half of the funds raised was topped up by a donation from one of our singers, and a cheque for $500.00 was presented to the Salvation Army Toy Mountain on Saturday December 7 at Polo Park, along with toys donated by our audience the previous week. River City Sound sang a round of seasonal carols for the Toy Mountain volunteers and the throngs of shoppers in the mall. Many thanks to our audience for your support!

River City Sound acknowledges, with thanks, the contribution made by both the Winnipeg Foundation and the Foundation for Choral Music In Manitoba toward purchasing risers for our chorus. These two grants were instrumental in the replacement of our aging risers. We would also like to thank Sing Canada Harmony for its support of our Learn To Sing (Better) program, which provides a free introduction to a cappella singing to the general public and the Land O’ Lakes District of the Barbershop Harmony Society for their support in providing choral coaching to the chorus.
