The club
We're a gym first. The raffle just pays the bills.
Bluewater Gymnastics Club Sarnia is a registered non-profit. Winners GRS exists for one reason: classes, coaches, and open doors all cost money, and a 50/50 draw is the cleanest way we've found to cover it.
Two decades of chalk on the floor.
Bluewater Gymnastics Club Sarnia has been training gymnasts across the Bluewater region since the early 2000s — preschoolers learning to roll, teenagers chasing provincial cuts, adults who just wanted to re-learn a cartwheel. The cast keeps changing; the gym keeps going.
Winners GRS is the engine room. The mechanics are clean: half of every ticket goes to one lucky number, the other half lands inside the club. No middlemen, no marketing tricks, just a way to fund a gym the right way.
Where the proceeds end up
- Recreational gymnastics Weekly drop-ins and term classes for kids, teens, and adults — every level, every shape.
- Competitive athletics Provincial- and national-stream coaching for athletes carrying the Bluewater name.
- Community access Subsidised spots for families who would otherwise have to sit the sport out.
- Coach development Ongoing certification and training so the people on our floor stay sharp, season after season.
Why it’s safe to play
Licensed, witnessed, above board.

- Keep youth and adult gymnastics programs running across the region
- Send our athletes to regional and provincial meets
- Fund small grants for other community non-profits
- Open the door to families who couldn’t otherwise join
