Play the St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 raffle and win.

VANCOUVER, BC, February 15, 2025 — Don’t miss out on your chance to buy tickets for the St. Paul’s Foundation 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.

Don’t miss out on the anticipated jackpot of $200,000!

St. Paul’s Hospital is a provincial referral centre for some of British Columbia’s most complex cases. Many patients have chronic health issues and require a specialized care team of medical professionals to address their needs.

The Clothing Depot provides patients with complex medical and social needs the dignity they deserve.

When patients visit St. Paul’s Hospital, sometimes the only clothes they own – which may be greatly worn, soiled or threadbare – are removed and disposed of. Other patients are here for a short stay and don’t have friends or family who are able to bring clothes to the hospital quickly.

The Clothing Depot ensures patients are discharged in new, clean, and weather-appropriate clothing to better support their health and to promote feelings of personal value, dignity, and self-worth. Sometimes, this simple act of care is one of the most appreciated.

Thanks to raffle supporters like you, Providence Health Care’s Clothing Depot continues to provide essential clothing to patients in need, preserving their dignity. All departments across St. Paul’s Hospital have access to this program. So far this year, the Clothing Depot has been accessed over 1,100 times and provided 5,710 items of clothing to patients.

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

Help provide comfort and dignity. Buy your ticket today.

Tickets are available for purchase until February 28, 2025. 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

VANCOUVER, BC, February 7, 2025 — Try your luck in St. Paul’s Foundation’s 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.

Don’t miss out on the anticipated jackpot of $200,000!

Your support helps the youngest patients at Providence Health Care.

Blankets are cherished essentials for newborns, providing warmth, comfort, and security. At St. Paul’s Hospital, a special kind of blanket – the bili blanket – is helping babies recover from jaundice quicker.

The bili blanket is a portable, fibre-optic blanket providing UV phototherapy for infants with severe jaundice, breaking down and removing the bilirubin in their blood. It helps promote bonding between newborns and parents or caregivers that traditional phototherapy treatment cannot provide.

The baby can be held, fed, even rocked throughout the therapy session, without interrupting the benefits of skin-to-skin contact. It promotes a nurturing environment that encourages and supports healthy and healing interactions.

“The bili blanket is one of our most-used pieces of equipment,” says nurse Clara Vuong, who’s worked in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for 18 years. “There is a huge benefit to using them for these babies.” Thanks to your support, the collection of bili blankets at St. Paul’s Hospital has now grown to six.

Bili blankets played a vital role in alleviating Julia Wulffhart’s anxiety as a new parent. When her daughter was born with a case of jaundice that took longer to heal, they were hospitalized for an entire week and Julia was able to use the blanket throughout their stay.

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

Support the tiniest patients. Buy your tickets today!

Tickets are available for purchase until February 28, 2025. The winner will be drawn on March 4, 2025. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!
