The Quinn Keast Foundation is offering Canadian hoops fans a chance to win a trip to see two homegrown talents battle it out in an NBA game in Los Angeles.
North Vancouver's Robert Sacré and his Los Angeles Lakers will host Kamloops native Kelly Olynyk and his Boston Celtics on Feb. 21 and two lucky British Columbians will be there to see it live. The Foundation is raffling off a prize pack that includes airfare for two from Vancouver to Los Angeles, two night's accommodation in a hotel, two tickets to the game, autographed jerseys from each player and, based on player availability, a meet and greet with the two Canadians.
Both Olynyk and Sacré starred for the Gonzaga Bulldogs following dominant high school careers in B.C. Sacré played at Handsworth with Quinn Keast, a passionate player who was killed on the night of his Grade 12 graduation when he was struck by a bus.
Tickets, $20, will be on sale until Feb. 7 at various locations around the Lower Mainland or online. Entrants must be at least 19 years old and residents of B.C. Proceeds from the raffle will go to Basketball B.C. For more information on the foundation or how and where to purchase tickets, visit quinnbasketball.net/raffle.
