Hillside Festival’s 2025 online 50/50 raffle fundraiser is now closed! Thank you to everyone who participated!
Why We’re Fundraising
At Hillside, we strive to create magical moments. We want our patrons to walk away with not just memories that will last a lifetime, but also stories that they’ll never get tired of telling.
As a registered charity and not-for-profit, we often rely on the goodwill of our supporters to make our goals possible. With this 50/50 raffle, we aim to raise money, while also offering supporters the chance to win prizes for themselves. Funds raised by this raffle will support Hillside’s mission to celebrate creativity through artistic expression, community engagement, and environmental leadership. We do this through offering programming in our Indigenous Circle, showcasing diverse artists from across the world with over 50% of artists being BIPOC or female-led, building infrastructure to wash all dishes on-site and eliminate single use plastics, and more. These projects are possible through support from our community, and fundraisers like this!
How It Works
Our 50/50 is a raffle that pools together all of the money gathered from raffle ticket purchases, and at the end of the raffle, draws for one lucky winner. The winner takes home half (50%) of the prize pool, while the organization keeps the other half!
