Your Chance to Win Big—St. Paul's Foundation 50/50 Raffle

VANCOUVER, BC, August 27, 2026 — Do you have your St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 raffle tickets yet? 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.

Building Confidence Through Hydrotherapy
At Holy Family Hospital (HFH) Rehabilitation, the hydrotherapy pool is more than a therapeutic space, it’s a bridge to independence. Operated by the physiotherapy team, the pool supports a diverse group of patients across both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, as well as participants in the Chronic Pain Program at St. Paul’s Hospital.

By mirroring the tools and experiences patients will encounter in community settings, HFH Rehabilitation creates a seamless transition from clinical care to independent, self-directed activity, supporting lasting recovery, and healthy movement. As demand for these programs continue to grow, so does the need for specialized equipment that reflects real-world, community-based physical activity.

Your raffle purchase helps fund new hydrotherapy equipment such as, yako paddles, styrofoam hand weights, steps, pool noodle, and beach balls, giving patients the opportunity to safely practice and become familiar with tools under the guidance of a physiotherapist. This hands-on experience builds the confidence, and practical skills patients need to carry their recovery forward, long after they leave hospital care.

More tickets = more compassion + more chances to win!

Tickets are available for purchase until September 11, 2026. The winner will be drawn on September 15, 2026. Ticket bundles are available to increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25
  • 120 for $50
  • 300 for $75 (the best value and greatest chance to win)

Remember the more tickets you buy, the more chances you have to win!

Half the jackpot. One lucky winner.

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC, August 25, 2026 — The Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation 50/50 jackpot is climbing, and the excitement is only getting started. With every ticket sold, the grand prize grows — and on September 24, one winner will take home half.

The other half of the pot will go toward funding state-of-the-art equipment like the Licox Brain Tissue Oxygen Monitor, used in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Brain injuries can have a wide-ranging effect on health and recovery. The Licox monitor measures oxygen pressures inside injured brain tissue, showing doctors in real time whether the brain is getting the “fuel” it needs to function. This immediate insight helps doctors at RCH adjust treatment on the spot, protecting brain function and improving recovery.

 

Just imagine what winning the 50/50 jackpot could mean: paying off bills, planning a getaway, sharing with family, or simply creating a little more breathing room. However you would use it, your ticket gives you a chance — while helping fund exceptional care for patients and families across BC.

50/50 tickets are:
5-Ticket Pack for $15
50-Ticket Pack for $25
200-Ticket Pack for $50
500-Ticket Pack for $100

Weekly Cash Prize tickets are:
Single Ticket for $10
3-Ticket Pack for $20
10-Ticket Pack for $40

Get in early and get your tickets now. Grand prize draw takes place on September 24, 2026.
