Don’t miss out. Get your St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 tickets.

VANCOUVER, BC, August 21, 2025 — Do you have your St. Paul’s Foundation 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.

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, communicating important information, 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, and some will even stay overnight. 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 instead of travelling back and forth from home or their hotel.

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 Aug 26, 2025. The winner will be drawn on Aug 28, 2025. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

  • 1 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!
