Grab Your 50/50 Tickets Before It’s Too Late!

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 25, 2026 — Tomorrow, the Grand Prize Jackpot Draw will decide who takes home half the pot in the Royal Columbian Hospital 50/50 Lottery.

Tickets must be purchased by 9:00AM Thursday, March 26.

With the jackpot continuing to climb, this is your chance at life-changing winnings, while also helping Royal Columbian Hospital expand care for patients across BC. This year, Royal Columbian Hospital will open the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, a 10-storey, purpose-built facility that will transform how urgent and specialized care are delivered. Behind the scenes, teams are testing equipment, rehearsing workflows, and preparing to move entire programs into modern spaces designed for today’s, and tomorrow’s, patients. You can buy tickets now.

More than a new building, the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower is a thoughtfully designed environment created to support healing, comfort, and collaboration. It will offer larger clinical spaces that enhance comfort, private rooms that provide dignity and quiet for patients and families, and integrated technology that supports rapid diagnosis and highly coordinated care. Light-filled corridors, purpose-built family areas, and dedicated zones for specialized services reflect a commitment to both patient experience and clinical excellence. 50/50 tickets support this expansion.

Inside the new tower, the Emergency Department will more than double in size, a new interventional “superfloor” will speed treatment for heart attacks and strokes, and critical care capacity will grow dramatically. Families will also find comfort in new maternity and neonatal spaces built to keep parents and newborns close.

The Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower represents a shared vision for a healthier future. As opening day approaches, your support helps bring this extraordinary step forward to life for patients and families who need it most.

Time is almost up. Secure your ticket before the deadline.

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.

Think Your Ticket Will Win?

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 24, 2026 — When families walk through the doors of the critical care unit at Royal Columbian Hospital, they are often facing some of the most difficult days. But you can help make it a little easier.

Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation’s 50/50 lottery helps provide much needed funding to ensure the hospital has the latest technology, the best equipment, and an environment where doctors, nurses and support staff can do their best work. On Thursday, March 26, the grand prize jackpot will be awarded to one lucky winner— a life-changing prize that’s still climbing higher with every ticket sold.

The purpose-built critical care unit at RCH will more than double the hospital’s critical care capacity, with 84 private rooms across the Intensive Care Unit, the Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit, and a dedicated Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Each room supports state-of-the-art monitoring, improved infection control, and a quieter, more comforting environment for families who may be spending long hours at the bedside. Doctors like Dr. Reynolds have provided important feedback on how this new facility was constructed.

Clear sightlines, modern layouts, and collaborative work areas allow caregivers to respond quickly and safely. These units reflect Royal Columbian’s unique provincial role as the busiest cardiac centre in British Columbia and a destination for the most complex medical and surgical patients.

Together with advanced interventional suites below and obstetrics and neonatal care above, the Critical Care floor represents another pillar of a tower built around the needs of patients and families. As we approach opening day, your support helps ensure the highest level of care remains available for those who need it most. Buy your 50/50 tickets now.

Support Critical Care at Royal Columbian Hospital

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, March 20, 2026 — Excitement is building in the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation 50/50 Lottery!

The Grand Prize Draw is on March 26, and one lucky winner will walk away with half the pot. With every ticket sold, the prize climbs higher—already reaching life-changing territory. Just picture it: in September, the jackpot reached $179,225, with nearly $90,000 going to the lucky winner. What would a win like that mean for your 2026?

Why your ticket matters: This isn’t just a lottery—it’s about people like Lauren Phillips and her son Wesley. When fetal monitoring revealed subtle dips in Lauren’s baby’s heart rate at 25 weeks, caregivers acted quickly. Wesley was delivered at just 720 grams and rushed to the NICU, where the hospital’s specialized neonatal team provided immediate breathing support and lifesaving care available at only a small number of centres in the province.

Six days later, despite Wesley being intubated and on a jet ventilator, the team helped Lauren hold her son for the first time. Supported by equipment funded through Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, even the smallest and sickest infants can now experience early skin-to-skin moments that strengthen bonding and support development.

Your ticket helps fund the Jim Pattison Acute Care Tower, which will introduce 24 private single-family rooms, bringing greater privacy, light, and comfort to families during their hardest days.

Every play matters. Every ticket makes a difference.
