Buy Tickets and Support Patients Like Russ

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 13, 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 Russ Moore’s possible. A few fleeting bouts of breathlessness turned into an emergency for Russ. After collapsing at his mother’s home, tests revealed a massive pulmonary embolism. Russ was transferred to Royal Columbian, where our Interventional Radiology team removed the clot from his lungs. Caregivers then initiated advanced life support when Russ suffered a cardiac arrest.

To stabilize him, the team placed Russ on ECMO, a highly specialized system that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs. This level of care is available at only a small number of hospitals in British Columbia, and Royal Columbian is one of the few equipped to provide it when patients need the highest level of critical support.

Buy Today to Cement Your Chance!

Funds for specialized equipment like an ECMO system is just one way that the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation helps make RCH a provincial leader in critical care. Your participation makes this work possible!

Imagine winning the jackpot this March. Our last jackpot winner took home $86,880! You’ll be helping Royal Columbian officially open the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, a facility that will nearly double capacity and expand care for patients across BC.

The Heart of BC 50/50 Jackpot is Soaring!

KELOWNA, BC, Wednesday, March 11, 2026 — There are just a few days remaining to secure tickets for the Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery. With the jackpot over half a million dollars, one very lucky winner is going to receive a life-changing prize, and communities across the heart of BC will receive significant funding for community health projects.

In the summer of 2025, the KGH Foundation expanded the partnerships for the Heart of BC lottery to regional health care foundations, in addition to the ongoing collaboration with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC, to ensure that the proceeds of the 50/50 had an impact in communities across the region.

Live in Kamloops? Proceeds will support the Royal Inland Foundation. What about a smaller community like Trail? You’re supporting the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Foundation. You can view a full list of the Heart of BC partners here.

Located outside of the Southern Interior? Your participation still plays a vital role in building healthier communities, and has a ripple effect for all those who call BC home (not to mention your chance to take home a life-changing jackpot).

With each ticket giving you the chance to win more than a quarter of a million dollars, and guaranteeing impact for British Columbians, it’s a win-win. Sales close this Friday, March 13 at midnight; be sure to get your tickets before they’re gone: at heartofbc.ca

Help Make Kids Mighty!

Your support could be the key to the next big breakthrough.

BC Children’s is the only hospital in the province devoted exclusively to children. As one of the world’s top-ranked pediatric hospitals, it leads the way in confronting many of the most pressing health challenges facing kids today—from cancer to heart disease and brain health.

They have a secret tool in this quest: an on-site Research Institute. Over 2,000 research professionals tirelessly work to understand the origins of illnesses, develop groundbreaking treatments and move closer to cures. As 70% of researchers are also health care professionals providing care in the hospital, life-changing discoveries can be brought from the laboratory bench straight to a child’s bedside faster and more efficiently.

Your support plays a pivotal role in accelerating the translation of these discoveries. And beyond propelling this work, your contribution also empowers researchers to dream even bigger. Thank you for shaping the future of children’s health care.
