NEOSS Survivor

A virtual game of survivor gives residents of the northeast a chance to win big

Oct 6, 2021 | 4:00 PM

North East Outreach & Support Services (NEOSS) is playing a virtual game of survivor to raise money and give northeast residents a chance to flex their trivia skills.

NEOSS administrator and event specialist, Jennifer Peterson, explained that this fundraising event is not only beneficial to the organization, but local businesses as well as participants could win up to $2,500 in local gift cards.

“We want to support local businesses in Tisdale. We tried to spread the love and purchase as many gift cards as we can. So the winners can go and shop their hearts out with the gift cards they win,” Peterson said.

You can purchase tickets to Shop Local Survivor for $20 each. Ticket sales will go towards donating $10 to NEOSS and $10 to local businesses through the purchase of gift cards.

With 250 tickets available for sale, the number of gift cards purchased for the prize pool will reflect the number of tickets sold.

In May, NEOSS hosted Shop Local Survivor for Melfort’s local businesses.

According to Peterson, the event in May sold out quickly. NEOSS hopes the Tisdale version will have a similar result.

This event will begin on Nov. 23 and run until Nov. 25.

On each day of the event, trivia questions will be asked at noon. Participants who are successful in the trivia contest will be entered into the prize drawing.

On the final day of the competition, the names of those who have made it through will be drawn. Prizes will be divided among three winners.

The first-place winner will receive 50 per cent of the gift card prize pool, the second-place winner 30 per cent, and the third-place winner 20 per cent.

For those interested in participating in the NEOSS Shop Local Survivor games, you can visit NEOSS on Facebook or call the main phone line at 306-752-9464.
