FINAL DAY: St. Paul’s Foundation jackpot over $210,000!

VANCOUVER, BC, February 28, 2025 — This is your last chance to get your St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 raffle tickets. Draw closes tonight at 10:00 PM PST.

The jackpot is now over $210,000 – and half could be yours!

The Heart Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital treats the most complex cardiac patients from around BC and the Yukon. Many patients arrive via air ambulance, and are unable to bring their walking/mobility aids due to flight space restrictions.

Patients travel safely home and give back to their local communities with the Pay It Forward Walker Program

If patients don’t have family members that can come to Vancouver and bring their mobility aid, the usual solution is for patients to rent a device from the Red Cross. But if they are ready for discharge after the Red Cross closes on a Friday, then the patient is essentially ‘stranded’ in Vancouver over the weekend – and occupying an acute care bed.

Enter the ‘Pay it Forward’ walker program.

The Heart Centre gives patients a walker upon discharge, and the patient then ‘pays it forward’ by donating that walker to the Red Cross when they return to their home community.

Your raffle purchase will help patients travel safely home, regain a sense of independence, and contribute back to their local community.

A humble hallmark of the compassionate care offered to patients and residents throughout Providence.

Help patients travel safely home! Buy your tickets today.

Tickets are available for purchase until 10:00PM TONIGHT. The winner will be drawn on March 4, 2025. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

  • 1 for $10
  • 20 for $25
  • 120 for $50
  • 300 for $75 (the greatest value and your best chance to win)

You could be the lucky winner! Get your tickets now on the St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 raffle website.

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