Last Chance to Buy Bright Nights 50/50 Tickets!

VANCOUVER, BC, December 28, 2021 — The Bright Nights 50/50 Jackpot is over $243,000 and growing by the minute! The deadline is midnight New Year’s Eve – don’t miss your chance to walk into 2022 a winner while supporting the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.

The jackpot could reach up to $1 MILLION dollars! Tickets are one for $15, three for $40, and six for $60. The draw takes place on January 10, 2022.

Proceeds support the Burn Fund’s programs for burn survivors of all ages – from the littlest survivors to adults. You can help make a meaningful difference in their lives by purchasing your Bright Nights 50/50 ticket.

The Little Lionhearts Family Camp is one program supported by the Bright Nights 50/50. In BC, more than 950 children are treated for serious burn injuries each year and 74 per cent of these children are aged one to four. Burns are the third leading cause of accidental injury-related hospitalization for toddlers in this province.

Recognizing the need for family support, the Burn Fund launched the Little Lionhearts Family Camp in November 2019. Welcoming toddlers, their siblings, and their parents, this weekend retreat supports healing as a unit, because just like a pride of lions, these families stick together.

In October the Burn Fund reunited these families following a year of virtual programming. Featuring music and play therapy, families enjoyed a Pumpkin Patch Day Out. Watch this video to see all the fun they got up to!

“Being around other families who have also gone through a very traumatic burn injury, sharing experiences and stories, and being able to relate to one another, has really left us feeling like we’re not alone in this journey,” said Kate Walker-Renney.

Show your support for these families by purchasing your 50/50 ticket today. The deadline to purchase is New Year’s Eve and the draw is happening January 10, 2022. Thank you for your support!

VANCOUVER, BC, December 13, 2021 — The BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund is one step closer to reaching a $1 Million Bright Nights 50/50 Jackpot by New Year’s Eve.

The holidays are the most important time of year for fundraising for the Burn Fund, the 43-year-old charity of BC’s professional fire fighters.

The Burn Fund’s largest fundraising event, Bright Nights in Stanley Park, returned this year. However with only a 50 per cent capacity and weeks of rainy weather, donations at the gate are down by 70 per cent compared to 2019. The Burn Fund hopes the Bright Nights 50/50 can recoup these losses.

“When you buy a ticket for the Bright Nights 50/50, you are supporting burn survivors across BC and the Yukon,” says Gord Ditchburn, President, BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund.

“These proceeds allow the Burn Fund to provide services from housing at the Burn Fund Centre to mental health support for burn survivors who have experienced trauma and increased isolation during the pandemic.”

Tickets for the Bright Nights 50/50 are one for $15, three for $40, and six for $60. The deadline is New Year’s Eve with the draw taking place on January 10, 2021.
