Gaming Nation’s 5050 Central Establishes Partnership with the Astros Foundation
Mar 14th, 2016 |
Toronto, ON – March 14, 2016: 5050 Central Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaming Nation Inc. (FAN-TSXV), is pleased to announce that the company has established a partnership with the Astros Foundation.
The partnership will see the Astros Foundation operate 5050 Central’s industry leading real-time electronic 50/50 raffle system, now possible in the state of Texas. Voters approved legislation in November 2015 that authorized professional sports teams’ charitable foundations to run charitable raffles.
Proceeds from each Houston Astros home game at Minute Maid Park will benefit the Astros Foundation, which seeks to harness the passion of baseball fans to support youth baseball and softball programs serving at-risk children and teens.
“The Astros Foundation is proud to partner with 5050 Central to launch the Share2Care 50/50 raffle,” said Twila Carter, Executive Director of the Astros Foundation. “At every home game, Astros fans will have the opportunity to support the Foundation’s charitable efforts in the community. We are excited for the potential and look forward to working with 5050 Central.”
Raffle tickets can be purchased through fixed touch-screen terminals and mobile devices providing faster transaction times, longer selling periods, accountability and substantial increases in average raffle proceeds.
“5050 Central is pleased to be working with the Astros Foundation to generate funds in support of the foundation’s great local charitable causes. We look forward to many years of success in this partnership,” said Scott Secord, President/CEO of Gaming Nation.
