The Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society (OSAS) has announced the return of its very popular Santa’s Second Chance Raffles, the proceeds of which go to support the retraining and rehoming of retired Standardbreds.

The raffle features a total of 21 gift baskets full of a wide variety of items (including Leaf tickets and a full harness) sure to please even the toughest person to buy for on your list.

The tickets are either $2 or $5 depending on the value. You may buy as many tickets as you like and place them in the basket(s) of your choice. Tickets are available for purchase up until midnight Dec. 10, 2023.

To pay for the tickets, please send an e-transfer to [email protected] and include how many tickets you want to buy and which basket(s) you wish to place them towards – each basket is numbered – in the memo.

Please provide your first and last name, as well as your phone number on the ticket if you are not part of the Facebook page, Santa’s Second Chance Raffles, which is where all of the available baskets may be viewed. If you are unable to pick your basket up and would like it shipped, that will be at your expense.

There will be a live stream video via Facebook of the draws on Monday, Dec. 11, 2023, time to be announced, likely early evening.

OSAS would like to thank everyone who participates and supports the organization this holiday season as well as everyone who contributed towards this year’s incredible offerings.
