The Team Up Foundation is proud to present two ongoing in-season programs aimed at supporting Ontario’s at-risk youth. The 50/50 Draw and Give-A-Kid-A-Game programs provide a great opportunity for fans to support the Team Up Foundation through purchasing 50/50 tickets and donating unused Raptors tickets.

Raptors Foundation 50/50 Draw

Raptors fans are teaming up with the Team Up Foundation and winning big with the 50/50 Draw presented by Pizza Pizza! This exciting fundraising event takes place at every Raptors home game, whereby 50/50 tickets are sold throughout the Air Canada Centre. In the fourth quarter a winning ticket is randomly drawn and one lucky fan takes home 50% of the net proceeds from that game’s ticket sales. The remaining proceeds benefit the Team Up Foundation and hundreds of at-risk youth charities across Ontario.

Tickets are 3 for $5.00 and 7 for $10.00 so don’t forget to get your 50/50 ticket at the next game! You can be the next lucky winner!

To volunteer for the 50/50 program or for more information, please contact Shellie Thomas at 416-815-5583

Give-A-Kid-A-Game

Radiant smiles and boisterous cheers are just some of the unforgettable expressions children share when watching their NBA heroes live. Unfortunately, many at-risk / underprivileged youth do not have the opportunity to experience the excitement of a live NBA game. Thanks to the generosity of many of our ticket holders, the Team Up Foundation Give-a-Kid-a-Game Ticket Donation Program is able to distribute tickets to various youth-at-risk / underprivileged youth charities across Ontario. If you are unable to attend a game or would like to donate your tickets, you can help a child enjoy Raptors basketball through our Give-A-Kid-Game program. You will receive a charitable tax receipt for the season seat holder price of the ticket(s). Donated tickets must be sent on-line no less than three business days prior to the game being donated.

Just go to raptors.com, log onto “My Season Seats” and select the “Give-A-Kid-A-Game” ticket forward option to easily donate your tickets. We apologize that we are no longer able to accept donated tickets sent by mail or courier.

Attention Suite HOLDERS!
We regret to inform you that we can only accept Raptor game tickets. If you are a suite holder and would like to donate your tickets for another event, please contact your Account Service representative for assistance.
