Ashley Arnston was just out of a long-term relationship and hoping to socialize more when volunteering a few seasons ago to sell 50/50 raffle tickets at Kraken home games.
But Arnston never expected she’d eventually travel to Kraken road games alongside other volunteers from the One Roof Foundation 50/50 Raffle, pres. by Washington’s Lottery, she wound up meeting. What began as friendships at Climate Pledge Arena expanded outside the rink to Kraken playoff watch parties, birthday gatherings, and eventually road trips.
