Play the St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 raffle and win.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 10, 2026 — Now’s your chance to buy tickets for St. Paul’s Foundation’s 50/50 raffle! Your ticket purchase supports initiatives, programs, and equipment that directly enhance patient care at Providence Health Care and Providence Living.

A day well lived starts with freedom and autonomy

Providence Living at The Views is Canada’s first publicly funded care village, designed to transform long-term care for seniors and adults living with dementia. Residents live in small household-style groups and are free to move throughout the secure village, supported by caregivers whenever needed.

This independence means residents often spend time outdoors, whether heading to activities, appointments, or simply enjoying a drink in the courtyard. While even a short time outside offers well known health benefits, it’s important to ensure residents stay warm and comfortable during the cooler months.

Your raffle purchase helps residents stay warm and cozy with easy-on/easy-off outerwear, including all‑weather capes and wheelchair blankets, so they can enjoy the courtyard in comfort.

By helping provide accessible, weather appropriate outerwear, you’re directly enhancing each resident’s comfort, confidence, and independence. Get your tickets today!

Tickets are available for purchase until June 5, 2026. The winner will be drawn on June 9, 2026. 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.

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

Win BIG with the St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 raffle.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 6, 2026 — Try your luck in St. Paul’s Foundation’s 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.

Breast prostheses: Restoring strength and self-assurance after mastectomy

A mastectomy is more than just a physical change. It’s a deeply personal journey of healing and resilience.

The Providence Breast Centre at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital performs 1,200 breast cancer surgeries each year — more than any other hospital in the province, making up 68% of all breast cancer surgeries in Vancouver.

Your raffle purchase helps fund care items for mastectomy patients. One of the items are known as ‘fluffies’: they are soft, lightweight, and comfortable breast prostheses that can be a crucial part of the sensitive post-surgery recovery period. They serve as a temporary solution before a patient is fitted for a permanent prosthesis or undergoes reconstructive surgery.

Designed to be gentle on healing skin, fluffies provide immediate support and comfort, allow clothing to fit naturally, and help patients adapt to the changes in their body post-mastectomy.

With your raffle support, mastectomy patients can reclaim comfort, confidence, and the freedom to feel at home in their bodies.

Tickets are available for purchase until June 5, 2026. The winner will be drawn on June 9, 2026. 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)
