Never miss a draw. Support your library every month.
Friends BFF is our monthly subscription for supporters who want to be in every draw without having to reorder tickets every month. Choose your tickets once and we will save your order, so you are automatically entered in each month's draw.
It is the easiest way to stay in the game while helping fund the Waverley children's library renovation and the programs your library brings to your community.
How Friends BFF works
- Choose your tickets. Select the tickets you would like and choose Friends BFF Monthly Subscription at checkout. Your card is charged today for the current draw.
- We send you a reminder. After each grand prize draw, we will email you to remind you of your subscription and let you know your next order is coming up.
- We process your payment. Your card is charged on the Wednesday after each grand prize draw for the same tickets you chose, and you are entered in the next draw.
- A second try if needed. If your card is declined, we will try again two days later. If your card is declined a second time, your Friends BFF subscription will be cancelled. You are always welcome to rejoin.
You stay in control
You can update your tickets, skip a draw, or cancel your subscription by emailing friends@friends5050.ca before your payment is processed. Please note that once payment has been processed for a draw, that order cannot be cancelled.
Why join?
- Be in every draw. Your tickets are entered automatically, so a busy month never costs you your chance to win.
- Support your library all year. Every ticket supports your library, and Friends BFF keeps that support steady month after month.
- Flexible, always. Update, skip or cancel before your payment is processed.

Cause
When you buy a Friends 50/50 ticket, you're not just entering to win – you're investing in the literacy and future success of children in our community. Your ticket purchase directly supports the creation of an expanded children's library at our Waverley branch.
The expanded children's library will provide a space designed to support early literacy, spark imagination, and bring families together.
Every dollar raised brings us closer to opening the doors on a space where a child's first library card becomes the key to endless possibilities, where struggling readers find support, and where the love of learning takes root in the next generation.
