Your Chance to Win Big—Lights of Hope 50/50 Raffle

VANCOUVER, BC, November 18, 2025 — Do you have your Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle tickets yet? 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.

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 require a specialized care team of medical professionals to address their needs.

The Clothing Depot provides patients with complex medical and social needs the dignity they deserve.

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. Other patients are here for a short stay and don’t have friends or family who are able to bring clothes to the hospital quickly.

The Clothing Depot ensures patients are discharged in new, clean, and weather-appropriate clothing to better support their health and to promote feelings of personal value, dignity, and self-worth. 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. So far this year, the Clothing Depot has been accessed over 1,100 times and provided 5,710 items of clothing to patients.

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 until Dec 5, 2025. The winner will be drawn on Dec 9, 2025. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25
  • 120 for $50
  • 300 for $75(the best value and greatest chance to win)

Remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

About the Cause

Together, we care for tens of thousands of people each year, from newborn babies to seniors in long-term care. Learn more.

The new St. Paul’s Hospital, part of the Jim Pattison Medical Campus, in Vancouver’s False Creek Flats, will feature state-of-the art facilities integrating clinical care with research. It will be one of the most digitally advanced hospitals in Canada, supported by an innovation ecosystem that will help close gaps in care, offer hope to patients in need, and realize a healthier BC.

Schools Win Twice Lottery Returns With New Prizes and Bigger Impact for Students

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN, November 17, 2025 — The Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Foundation has launched its 2025 Schools Win Twice Lottery, offering supporters a chance to win major prizes while directly funding education programs that benefit thousands of students across the region.

The annual lottery, now a long-standing community tradition, raises money to support educational excellence, faith-based programming, service and compassion and the foundation’s growing student leadership convention. Organizers say every ticket sold delivers “a double win”: one for the lucky prize winners, and one for the students who rely on foundation-funded programs. Half of all Prize Lottery tickets sold return directly to the school you choose to support when purchasing the ticket. All other lottery proceeds are returned to schools by way of grants.

More Ways to Win

This year’s Schools Win Twice Lottery features a wide mix of prizes, including a Grand Prize Family Vacation travel package, a backyard make-over shopping spree, electronics, entertainment, and leisure.  Supporters can also add on 50/50 tickets for a chance at what is expected to be one of the largest jackpots in the lottery’s history.

Ticket purchasers can find full prize details, rules of play and the draw date at schoolswintwice.ca, with additional background on the foundation’s mission available at gscsfoundation.com.

Supporting Students Across the City

Funds raised by the lottery help support:
– Classroom technology and learning tools
– Specialized literacy and numeracy programs
– Student wellness and nutrition initiatives
– Leadership and Faith development

Long-Standing Community Support

The Schools Win Twice program has earned a reputation as one of Saskatchewan’s most community-minded charitable lotteries, consistently delivering both significant prizes and measurable educational impact. Each year, ticket sales contribute to programs that would not otherwise be possible through regular school funding.

How to Buy Tickets

Tickets are available now at schoolswintwice.ca.

Play the Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle for a chance to win.

VANCOUVER, BC, November 14, 2025 — Now’s your chance to buy tickets for Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle! 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 – today, and for years to come.

Sleeper Chairs: A place to rest, so family and loved ones can stay close

When a loved one is in the hospital, you want to be by their side – but spending hours in an uncomfortable chair only adds to the exhaustion.

Family members and loved ones are an integral part of a patient’s care team, providing emotional support and comfort in their recovery process. They may help with meals, personal care, translation, communication, and alert medical staff to issues that need attention in critical care situations.

Some loved ones come from out-of-town and are at the patient’s bedside for many hours. Sleeper chairs, which can be converted into a flat bed, allow family members and visitors to lie down and rest comfortably by the patient’s side.

Thanks to raffle supporters like you, family members have a comfortable place to recharge – so they can take care of themselves while staying strong for the ones they love.

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

More tickets = more compassion + more chances to win!

Tickets are available for purchase until Dec 5, 2025. The winner will be drawn on Dec 9, 2025. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25
  • 120 for $50
  • 300 for $75 (the greatest value and best chance to win)

You could be the lucky winner! Get your tickets today at spf5050.ca.
