Support Critical Care at Royal Columbian Hospital

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, June 19, 2026 — June 19, 2026 — Excitement is building in the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation 50/50 Lottery!

The Grand Prize Draw is on June 25, and one lucky winner will walk away with half the pot. With every ticket sold, the prize climbs higher, reaching life-changing territory.

Just picture it: previous jackpots have reached close to $200K, with half going to the lucky winner. What would a win like that mean for you summer?

Why your ticket matters: This isn’t just a lottery—it’s about people like Lauren Phillips and her son Wesley. When fetal monitoring revealed subtle dips in Lauren’s baby’s heart rate at 25 weeks, caregivers acted quickly. Wesley was delivered at just 720 grams and rushed to the NICU, where the hospital’s specialized neonatal team provided immediate breathing support and lifesaving care available at only a small number of centres in the province.

Six days later, despite Wesley being intubated and on a jet ventilator, the team helped Lauren hold her son for the first time. Supported by equipment funded through Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, even the smallest and sickest infants can now experience early skin-to-skin moments that strengthen bonding and support development.

Your ticket helps fund the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, which will introduce 24 private single-family rooms, bringing greater privacy, light, and comfort to families during their hardest days.

Every play matters. Every ticket makes a difference.

About Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation

As BC’s leading critical care hospital, one in three British Columbians rely on Royal Columbian Hospital. We are the only hospital in BC with trauma, cardiac, neurosciences, high-risk maternity and neonatal intensive care on one site. We look after some of the most seriously ill and injured patients, and we do it with the support of donors like you.

The new Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower is now open, and the upper floors reflect a vision of healthcare built not only for today’s patients but for generations to come. Levels 7 through 10 bring together dedicated inpatient units that support healing, teaching, and the delivery of highly specialized care for patients across British Columbia.

On Level 8, Vascular Surgery and Medicine will come together in a modern environment designed to support recovery.
Level 9 will house Royal Columbian’s Neurosciences Unit, caring for patients experiencing stroke, brain and spine injuries, and other neurological conditions.
And on Level 10, the Trauma and Orthopedics Units will support individuals recovering from serious injuries, fractures, and orthopedic surgeries.

Across all four floors, private rooms, improved infection control, enhanced monitoring, and quieter, more welcoming environments create space for rest, dignity, and family support.

Buy Tickets and Support Patients Like Margaret

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, June 12, 2026 — Support Royal Columbian Hospital by purchasing a ticket for the 50/50 Lottery, and you may just win the jackpot!

With every ticket purchase, you’re making stories like Margaret Swanson’s possible. What began as a familiar workout at her local gym, quickly turned life-threatening when everything in front of Margaret appeared “sparkly” and she collapsed. At 69 years old, Margaret was experiencing a major stroke. “I remember looking at my phone and everything just did not look right,” Margaret recalls. “The next thing I knew, I was on the floor. I could not speak, and I could not move properly. I was confused more than anything.”

Support Patients Like Margaret!

When Margaret arrived at Royal Columbian Hospital, the stroke team was already waiting. Dr. Zameer Hirji, Interventional Radiologist, had been alerted by Royal Columbian Hospital stroke Neurologist, Dr. Hassanain Toma, before she reached the hospital. “I received the call at 1:06 p.m. that a patient with a high likelihood of a large-vessel stroke was on the way,” says Dr. Hirji. “From that moment, everything moved very quickly. Mrs. Swanson arrived in our ER at 1:08pm and by 1:42 p.m., we had removed the clot and fully restored blood flow to her brain.”

The procedure, known as a mechanical thrombectomy, involves accessing a blood vessel through her groin and navigating a catheter or “thin tube” using imaging guidance to the brain to remove the clot. Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation continues to raise funds for expanded imaging and intervential radiology, helping to make RCH a provincial leader in critical care. Your participation makes this work possible!
