Your Generosity at Work: Celebrating CEFO’s 50|50 Winner and
The Power of Community Support
The Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa (CEFO), in partnership with the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB), announced the winner of this year’s 50|50 draw. Thanks to the incredible support of our school communities, parishes, families, and friends, the draw raised an impressive $58,035. $29,017 went to our winner, May, a proud St. Brigid School parent. The remaining funds will go directly toward supporting OCSB students and families who need a little extra help.
But this draw was about more than just the prize; it was about people coming together to make a real difference. Every ticket purchased, every social media share, and every act of kindness helped lift up those who needed it most.
