Share the joy of gardening with St. Paul’s Foundation’s Spring 50/50 raffle

VANCOUVER, BC, May 17, 2023 — Don’t miss out on this opportunity to buy your tickets for St. Paul’s Foundation’s Spring 50/50 raffle. The jackpot is growing daily.

One lucky winner will take home half the jackpot. The other half will go directly toward supporting Providence patients, long-term care residents, and their families with compassionate, comforting care across BC.

At any age, gardening is one of the best activities we can do outdoors. It stimulates all of the senses, it connects us with nature and rewards us with beautiful flowers or delicious fruits and vegetables. Gardening is also an excellent way for aging bodies to get a moderate-intensity aerobic workout, shed calories and stay flexible.

Gardening programs brings a sense of pride and joy to residents

Residents and staff at Holy Family Hospital’s Extended Care have created a wonderful and supportive gardening community, growing many flowers and vegetables throughout the spring and summer season. Last year they hosted an end of season Farmer’s Market to share their garden harvest with fellow residents, family members and staff. These proud residents are looking forward to sharing “the fruits of their labour” again this season.

Your ticket purchase will help provide the supplies required to continue this wonderful gardening initiative at Holy Family Extended Care, and support many other wonderful gardening initiatives across Providence’s network of hospitals and residences.

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

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

Tickets are available for purchase from May 1 through 31. The winner will be drawn on June 1. Ticket bundles are available, and can increase your chances of winning!

3 for $10
20 for $25
120 for $50 (the best value and your best chance to win)

And remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

About St. Paul’s Foundation

St. Paul’s Foundation raises funds to support compassionate, inspired care at Providence Health Care’s 17 sites across BC, including St. Paul’s Hospital. Together, we care for hundreds of thousands of people each year, from newborn babies to seniors in long-term care.

Your support will help save and improve lives. Thank you!
