It could be said there's an art to fundraising, and that was certainly the case for Rotary Club of White Rock's latest endeavour.
Officials announced this month that the club's 2024 Art Raffle raised $1,500 in support of its youth programs and scholarship offerings.
Tickets were sold from the end of June till Oct. 6, offering a chance at one of two works by renowned late White Rock artist Vojislav Morosan: a 1999 framed original oil painting of Semiahmoo Bay, valued at $2,500, and a 2000 White Rock Pier canvas print, valued at $600.
The works were donated by Morosan's widow, Norma Morosan. Ken Smurthwaite won the painting and Mike Kristensen won the print.
Proceeds from the raffle will "make a lasting difference for our youth," a news release announcing the winners and thanking supporters states.
