Announcing the Uplands Heart Tournament Play Fore Hearts Lottery in support of Cardiac Care!

Buy your tickets now for a chance to win the big 50/50 jackpot and three amazing island getaways!

VICTORIA, BC, June 11, 2021 — Since 1978, the Uplands Golf Club Annual Heart Tournament has raised more than $2.97 million for the Victoria Hospitals Foundation and funded leading-edge cardiac equipment for Royal Jubilee’s Heart Health program. Players, sponsors and donors have all helped make the Tournament the longest running, most successful charity tournament in BC.

With this year’s tournament just around the corner in July, Uplands Golf Club Annual Heart Tournament and the Victoria Hospitals Foundation have launched the Play Fore Hearts online 50/50 and prize lottery, presented by Peninsula Co-op.

By purchasing your lottery tickets today, you can directly help fund instruments designed to perform mitral heart valve surgeries. These minimally invasive tools will reduce pain, lower risk for infection, and improve recovery times for patients on Vancouver Island undergoing this type of surgery. Having these specialized instruments will also reduce the number of referrals to the mainland, keeping cardiac patients closer to home and to their families while they heal.

You won’t want to miss a chance to win three amazing week-long getaways in Ucluelet, Parksville and Yellow Point, and a soon-to-be large 50/50 jackpot.

Ticket packs can be purchased here at 1 for $10, 3 for $25, 10 for $50, 50 for $200 or 150 for $500 for the 50/50, and 1 for $25, 3 for $50 or 10 for $100 for the prize lottery. Tickets may be sold and purchased only in British Columbia and purchasers must be 19 years of age or older. For more information about the rules of play please click here.

Ticket sales will end on July 19th, 2021 at 11:59 pm and the draws will occur on July 21st, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. The winning tickets for the 50/50 and prize lottery will be drawn using Random Number Generator software (RNG) and the winners will be contacted by phone.

Should you need any assistance, please call the Victoria Hospitals Foundation at 250-519-1750 or email us at [email protected].

Thank you for your support, it is deeply appreciated.

Good luck!

Feeling Lucky? Get your tickets for the St. Paul’s Foundation spring 50/50 raffle

VANCOUVER, BC, June 10, 2021 – St. Paul’s Foundation just launched their spring 50/50 raffle and one lucky winner will take home half the jackpot. The other half will go directly towards supporting patients and residents with compassionate care across B.C.

Each ticket is so much more than a chance to win

Thanks to you, seniors in long-term care homes have iPads to keep in touch with their families and friends; to tune into religious services; and, poignantly, attend online memorials for loved ones who have passed.

And, there are also viewing platforms outside residents’ windows.

The raised patios outside each window allows residents to safely see their loved ones – a true sign of compassion and care for those most vulnerable during social-distancing times.

These are just some of the ways Providence Health Care has pivoted early in the pandemic to support seniors and residents.

Your raffle ticket purchase will go towards more initiatives to support seniors’ ongoing need for connection.

Your ticket proceeds will also support mental health initiatives like the ones offered by the Provincial Eating Disorders Program at St. Paul’s Hospital.

Registered dietitians Ali Eberhardt and Hannah Robinson host a regular podcast called “Let Us Eat Cake” and a daily Instagram Live called “Snack Time and Chill.”

For those tuning in, the broadcast is more than just a hilarious half hour of snacking and chatting; it’s a lifeline that reaches out across the province to provide meal support, coping strategies, and the healing power of connection.

More tickets equals more compassion plus more chances to win

Tickets are available for purchase from June 1-30 and the winner will be drawn on June 30. There are ticket bundles available to increase your chances of winning big:

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

Support the future of health care and get your tickets today at the spring 50/50 raffle website, and remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!
