VANCOUVER, BC, December 3, 2025 — Only 2 days left to get your Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle tickets! Draw closes this Friday Dec 5 at 10:00 PM PST. The jackpot is now over $318,000 – and half could be yours!

Pediatric Comfort Kits: a small treasure that has a big impact on care

For a child in pain, the emergency department can feel like an unfamiliar world: bright lights, strange sounds, new faces, and the uncertainty of what comes next. Every moment can feel endless, adding to their distress – and their parents’ worry.

Because of raffle supporters like you, pediatric comfort kits can be provided to help relax children through distraction and play, as well as provide an outlet for creativity and communication. The comfort kits include fun items like colouring books and crayons, stickers, card games, squeeze toys, and bubble wands.

The Emergency Department at Mount Saint Joseph has had the largest growth in pediatric visits in the region; currently about 10% of daily visits are from young patients. At the Teck Emergency Centre at St. Paul’s Hospital, there were 1,673 pediatric visits last year – a 75% jump compared to the average over the past decade.

These kits are helping our health care teams deliver faster, compassionate care – enabling young patients to find relief, heal more quickly, and return home sooner.

Support young patients and their families. Buy your tickets today!

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

Tickets are available for purchase until Dec 5, 2025. The winner will be drawn on Dec 9, 2025. Ticket bundles are available and can increase your chances of winning!

  • 3 for $10
  • 20 for $25

Jackpot over $260,000 – Lights of Hope 50/50

VANCOUVER, BC, November 29, 2025 — The jackpot is growing, get your Lights of Hope 50/50 raffle tickets now. 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.

Breast prostheses: Restoring strength and self-assurance after mastectomy

A mastectomy is more than just a physical change. It’s a deeply personal journey of healing and resilience.

The Providence Breast Centre at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital performs 1,200 breast cancer surgeries each year — more than any other hospital in the province, making up 68% of all breast cancer surgeries in Vancouver.

Your raffle purchase helps fund care items for mastectomy patients. One of the items are known as ‘fluffies’: they are soft, lightweight, and comfortable breast prostheses that can be a crucial part of the sensitive post-surgery recovery period. They serve as a temporary solution before a patient is fitted for a permanent prosthesis or undergoes reconstructive surgery.

Designed to be gentle on healing skin, fluffies provide immediate support and comfort, allow clothing to fit naturally, and help patients adapt to the changes in their body post-mastectomy. By encouraging self-confidence, they also promote physical activity and social connections, empowering patients to embrace life.

With your raffle support, mastectomy patients can reclaim comfort, confidence, and the freedom to feel at home in their bodies.

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

Tickets are available for purchase until Dec 5, 2025. The winner will be drawn on Dec 9, 2025. 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)
