The first week of the 50/50 for Kids draw has come to a close and prize recipients at The Family Place said they are overwhelmed with the response so far.

The current total sits at $18,500 with two weeks to go and Executive Director of The Family Place Dawn Gutzke said the large total so far has them thinking about what they can do with those much-needed funds.

"We haven't pinpointed it down exactly yet but we're really looking forward to seeing the total and to see where it could go towards," said Gutzke. "Upgrading, maybe some things we have going on here at The Family Place, and just truly helping us keep our doors open."

Ticket sales will continue every day throughout the week. We will be live on location Monday at The Family Place, starting at 11 a.m.

The grand prize draw will take place March 26.
