Win BIG with the Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle.

VANCOUVER, BC, November 16, 2023 — Buy your tickets for St. Paul’s Foundation’s Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle today. One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot, while the other half will go directly toward supporting patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care across BC. Over $238,000 in cash prizes have been awarded to date.

St. Paul’s Hospital is a provincial referral centre for some of the province’s most complex cases. Many patients have chronic health issues and are extremely vulnerable.

The Clothing Depot affords dignity to patients with complex medical and social needs

When patients visit St. Paul’s Hospital, sometimes the only clothes they own – which may be greatly worn, soiled or threadbare – are removed and disposed of, rendering the patient extremely vulnerable.

The Clothing Depot ensures patients are discharged in new, clean, and weather-appropriate clothing to better support their health and to promote a focus on holistic care. Feelings of personal value, dignity, and self-worth are all important aspects to a patient’s health and well-being. Sometimes, this simple act of care is one of the most appreciated.

Thanks to raffle supporters like you, Providence Health Care’s Clothing Depot continues to provide essential clothing to patients in need, preserving their dignity. All departments across St. Paul’s Hospital have access to this program, with more than 40 departments benefitting from this service so far this year.

A humble hallmark of the compassionate care offered to patients and residents throughout Providence.

Help provide comfort and dignity. Buy your ticket today.

Tickets are available for purchase from Nov 1 through 30. The winner will be drawn on Dec 4. Ticket bundles are available, and can increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25
  • 120 for $50 (the best value and your best chance to win)

And remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

 

About St. Paul’s Foundation

St. Paul’s Foundation raises funds to support compassionate, inspired care at Providence Health Care’s 17 sites across BC, including St. Paul’s Hospital, and at Providence Living’s long-term care homes. Together, we care for tens of thousands of people each year, from newborn babies to seniors in long-term care.

Your support will help save and improve lives. Thank you!

About Lion’s Gate Hospital Foundation

LGH Foundation has recently used 50/50 funds to purchase much-needed medical equipment to enhance the hospital. From a treadmill for the Cardiology Department, to specialized sleeper chairs for patient rooms at the North Shore Hospice and a brand new electric cast saw and extraction system for the Cast Clinic, the funds from our monthly draws help our medical teams provide top-notch care to their patients.

Our donors have a big impact on the quality of treatment and care available to patients. Just recently, donor generosity funded two important new units at LGH. The High Acuity Unit provides advanced care to patients with complex health care needs while the Psychiatric Emergency Assessment and Treatment area in Emergency offers specialized care to patients with mental health and substance use issues. More than 1,000 patients have been treated at PEAT since it opened last fall and close to 70,000 people a year are now seen in the Emergency Department.

These groundbreaking new services would not be possible without the help of our donors.

LGH Foundation raises funds to support better patient care at all publicly funded health care facilities on the North Shore. Money raised from the LGH 50/50 will be used to support everyone from newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to vulnerable elderly patients.

 

The LGH 50/50, kindly sponsored by the Old Spaghetti Factory, is an easy way for you to support the Foundation. LGH is the hospital for the North Shore – The Hospital for Here and the funds raised will stay right in our community.

It’s super easy to purchase tickets here. They cost $10 for 20 tickets; $20 for 100 tickets and $50 for 250 tickets. Good luck!

Participants must be 19+ to play and a resident of British Columbia.
