Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Mateo!

For months, Mateo was lethargic, losing weight and struggled to eat and keep food down. He was not his usual silly, caring and sweet self. Test results showed extremely high levels of ketones and sugar. Mateo was sent to his local hospital, where further testing confirmed what his mom, Danielle, had feared: Mateo had Type 1 diabetes.

His blood sugar level was over 45 mmol/L; 4-7mmol/L is typical. He was in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition, and was close to falling into a coma.

Mateo was quickly transported to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, where he could receive the world-class, life-saving care he needed.

“The team at Jim Pattison was amazing,” said Danielle. “They didn’t waste a second. Without the pediatric diabetic team at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, our son would not be here today.”

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Taleigha!

When Taleigha was born, doctors noticed an atypical head shape, with some bulging of her forehead on one side.

After receiving some scans, she was diagnosed with unicoronal craniosynostosis, a condition in which one side of the skull fuses too early, leading to headaches, eye pain and changes in appearance.

Specialists at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital recommended a craniotomy, a surgical procedure where a neurosurgeon removes a section of the skull.

“From the first time we met the team and learned how the procedure would work, it gave us hope and confidence,” said Lolito, Taleigha’s dad.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Kolbie!

In April 2023, Kolbie became increasingly thirsty and made frequent trips to the restroom, early signs that led to an unimaginable diagnosis. 

After further testing she was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, a rare condition caused by a thickening on her pituitary stalk.

What followed were months of testing at Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH). In March, the family’s worst fears were confirmed when a routine scan revealed the presence of a brain tumour. “When we found out about Kolbie’s diagnosis, our hearts broke,” said Vicki, Kolbie’s mom.

Since that diagnosis, Kolbie has undergone extensive treatment at JPCH, including chemotherapy and frequent blood work, transfusions and hospital stays. Despite the physical toll, Kolbie has remained strong.

Your 50/50 Purchase Helps Saskatchewan Kids Like Carson!

What began as a simple itch on his arms and legs led Carson, a volleyball and hockey player from Montmartre, Sask., to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) for life-saving care.

In the summer of 2024, the itching intensified, causing sores. By December, Carson developed night sweats and in February a persistent cough, but bloodwork during those months came back normal. In late February, his cough worsened, prompting further tests. Then one phone call changed everything: Carson had cancer.

Carson was admitted to JPCH that night for a two-week stay. The next day, he received a PICC line and underwent a biopsy. In early March 2025, Carson was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

“The world stood still. Nothing can prepare you in life for finding out your child has cancer. We cried and cried for about a week,” said his mother, Wendy.

Your 50/50 purchase helps Saskatchewan kids like Isabel!

When Isabel’s femur suddenly broke shortly after birth, her family from Yorkton, Sask., knew something wasn’t right. Isabel spent a month in the NICU while specialists worked to determine the cause of her broken bone and low muscle tone. Test results later confirmed she had spinal muscular atrophy.

When JPCH opened in 2019, the family moved to Saskatoon to be closer to the specialized care Isabel requires.

Isabel is a regular patient at JPCH. She is followed by the feeding tube team for her G-tube, has undergone numerous X-rays and receives physiotherapy, speech and occupational therapy, along with support from a social worker.

“Our experience at JPCH has been incredible. I could not imagine the stays and treatments in a hospital that is not geared towards kids. It has made all the difference in our stays and visits there,” said Marjorie, Isabel’s mom.

SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN, November 17, 2025 — The Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Foundation has launched its 2025 Schools Win Twice Lottery, offering supporters a chance to win major prizes while directly funding education programs that benefit thousands of students across the region.

The annual lottery, now a long-standing community tradition, raises money to support educational excellence, faith-based programming, service and compassion and the foundation’s growing student leadership convention. Organizers say every ticket sold delivers “a double win”: one for the lucky prize winners, and one for the students who rely on foundation-funded programs. Half of all Prize Lottery tickets sold return directly to the school you choose to support when purchasing the ticket. All other lottery proceeds are returned to schools by way of grants.

More Ways to Win

This year’s Schools Win Twice Lottery features a wide mix of prizes, including a Grand Prize Family Vacation travel package, a backyard make-over shopping spree, electronics, entertainment, and leisure.  Supporters can also add on 50/50 tickets for a chance at what is expected to be one of the largest jackpots in the lottery’s history.

Ticket purchasers can find full prize details, rules of play and the draw date at schoolswintwice.ca, with additional background on the foundation’s mission available at gscsfoundation.com.

Supporting Students Across the City

Funds raised by the lottery help support:
– Classroom technology and learning tools

– Student wellness and nutrition initiatives
– Leadership and Faith development

Long-Standing Community Support
