Special Olympics Northern Ontario

 Attention all Toronto Raptors Fans,

Due to high demand, the Toronto Raptors is pleased to bring back the opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to all SOO volunteers, communities, friends and families. You can save up to 30% off regular priced tickets. Be sure to include the Special Offer Code: SOOPERKS. As well, with every ticket purchase made using the special code, the Toronto Raptors will contribute $4.00 back to Special Olympics Ontario. SOO will designate the appropriate funds directly back to the community where the ticket(s) were purchased. Transfer will take place at the end of the season.

(For an example, if a person from Newmarket purchased 10 tickets using the offer code, then SOO will direct $40.00 back to the Newmarket community.)

So not only will you have an opportunity to watch an exciting Raptors basketball game at a discounted price, you will also know that a portion of your ticket order will go back to your Special Olympics community.
