Is today your lucky day? Play the Spring 50/50 raffle.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 16, 2024 — Try your luck in St. Paul’s Foundation’s Spring 50/50 raffle. 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 – today, and for years to come.

Over $357,000 in cash prizes have been awarded to date across BC!

Cooking program affords a sense of pride, motivation and confidence

The Therapeutic Cooking Program at Mount St. Joseph Hospital has brought many benefits to seniors living with dementia. Cooking is a familiar act that many residents will have performed daily in the past. Preparing food and actively cooking can be very therapeutic as it stimulates the senses, allowing residents to recall past cooking experiences from their long-term memory.

Thanks to raffle supporters like you, the Therapeutic Cooking Program can provide an environment for residents to work, interact together, and share stories and memories about cooking. This helps to alleviate the feeling of boredom, helplessness, and loneliness that often comes with living away from family.

Another humble hallmark of the compassionate care offered to patients and residents throughout Providence Health Care.

Each ticket is so much more than a chance to win. Buy your tickets today.

Tickets are available for purchase until May 31. The winner will be drawn on June 4. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25

Win business class flights with Arthritis Society Canada’s Ignite Raffle.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 10, 2024 — Hurry, this is your last chance to win two roundtrip business class tickets to any Air Canada scheduled destination and a stylish luggage set to take along for your journey. Arthritis Society Canada’s Ignite Raffle is all about good prizes for a good cause – supporting 1 in 4 women and over 25,000 children living with arthritis in BC.

Deadline to enter is 9:30 pm tomorrow, Saturday May 11. The winner will be drawn just 10 minutes later.

Tickets are:

  • $30 for one ticket (SOLD OUT)
  • $100 for five tickets
  • $200 for twenty tickets

The full prize package is two roundtrip tickets to any Air Canada scheduled destination (non-transferable, not redeemable for cash, blackout periods may apply), and a Claire Newell leather luggage set that includes a large suitcase, tote bag, travel wallet, and travel candles.

These are prizes with a purpose

By participating in Arthritis Society Canada’s Ignite Raffle, you will support BC arthritis patients like Karam Roberts.

Karam Roberts was diagnosed with rheumatoid vasculitis, a severe complication of rheumatoid arthritis, in 2020. Her symptoms began with a bad cough, but quickly escalated to intensive care, hearing loss, ulcers and the inability to bend her fingers or knees. Before she was prescribed medication, she was in excruciating, all-encompassing pain and couldn’t stand or move around independently. She has been unable to return to work due to exhaustion from the four blood infusions she receives tri-annually.
 
Karam remains hopeful that one day she’ll achieve a level of normalcy that will allow her to hike, scuba dive and ski with her partner again. She is passionate about raising awareness that arthritis can impact anyone, regardless of age, and that it is often an invisible disease.

About Arthritis Society Canada

Stories like Karam’s are why we are determined to change the conversation around arthritis, and we can’t do it without the dedication of community leaders like you. Join us in making a difference in the lives of the six million people in Canada who live with arthritis.

Fueled by the trust and support of our donors and volunteers, we are fighting the fire of arthritis with research, advocacy, innovation, information and support. Through the continued generosity of our supporters, Arthritis Society Canada will achieve our bold dream of making a cure a reality. Together, we can – and will – extinguish arthritis.
