St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 Raffle News Articles

VANCOUVER, BC, May 4, 2023 — 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 across BC.

Residents living with dementia are often stigmatized as extremely forgetful and not able to carry out basic functions. Yet, residents with mild to moderate dementia are still able to participate in simple meal prep and cooking tasks with supervision and guidance.

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 very familiar act that many residents 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 is able to provide an environment for residents to work and interact together, sharing stories and memories about cooking. This helps to alleviate the feeling of boredom, helplessness, and loneliness that often comes with living away from the family home.

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

Music therapy programs bring so much happiness to patients and residents

By purchasing raffle tickets, you help bring the joy of music to many of the residents cared for at Providence. Soundbeam is an instrument that uses motion sensors to detect movements and turn them into music. Lucy Thomas, a music therapist at St. Vincent’s: Langara, uses Soundbeam to help long-term care residents who have limited mobility or vocal abilities find joy.

Residents can make music with just a wave of a hand or a wiggle of a toe. Some residents have illnesses or conditions that make movement difficult, so this adaptive technology has a truly positive impact on their quality of life. It gives them the opportunity to create and enjoy beautiful music regardless of their ability or skill level.

Your purchase will support many wonderful music initiatives across Providence’s network of hospitals and residences, including access to musical instruments and musical programming.
