VANCOUVER, BC, May 24, 2025 — 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.

In many cases, hospital visits are often unplanned and hurried. When patients call 911 for help, they may not have time to collect or remember what they need. Simple items such as reading glasses can often be left behind, and many patients are unable to retrieve them.
Because of raffle supporters like you, St. Paul’s Hospital has over two dozen pairs of reading glasses that patients can borrow, which have been sanitized and reused countless times.
When patients at St. Paul’s Hospital receive the gift of sight, their care is enhanced by being able to read education materials, dietary menus, and medical forms.
With your participation in our raffle, patients regain a sense of independence. Plus, your gift helps to reduce unnecessary stress and anxiety for patients around British Columbia.
“A gentleman was trying to fill out his government disability forms but couldn’t see the papers. He came to the nursing station to try and get more light to see better. I offered him reading glasses. His eyes filled with tears,” says Carrie Bancroft, clinical nurse leader in the cardiac unit. “He was so surprised that he could now see the words and had no problem filling out the form. He was proud and happy when I showed him how they looked on him. Our team cannot thank you enough for giving the patients of St. Paul’s Hospital these types of precious gifts.”
A humble hallmark of the compassionate care offered to patients and residents throughout Providence.
