Lions Club Shopping Spree returns in November
Posted October 21, 2022 at 4:36 pm by San Juan Update
The San Juan Island Lions Club shares news about their upcoming fundraiser.
After a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic, the San Juan Island Lions Club is resuming their annual fall Shopping Spree contest. The Spree allows one winner the unique opportunity to run through Kings Market and pick up all the groceries they can in four minutes — for free. There are only a few limitations — no more than four of any single item, no tobacco, alcohol, or olive oil — and the winner is limited to $50 worth of meat and cheese. The Spree also gives two additional winners one turkey each, just in time to celebrate Thanksgiving.
As in previous years, tickets for the Spree are just $1 each or six for $5, and will be sold at both Kings Market and Market Place on Friday and Saturday during the first three weekends of November. The winning ticket will be drawn at Kings Market at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, with the Spree taking place at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, Nov. 22.
Proceeds from this event help support the San Juan Lions Scholarship Fund, which helps fund post-secondary education for local graduating high school seniors.
Those who wish to support the San Juan Lions Scholarship program but choose not to participate in the Shopping Spree can donate tickets to the Friday Harbor Food Bank. Alternatively, donors can contribute directly to the Lions Scholarship Fund without buying tickets.
You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
