VANCOUVER, BC, September 9, 2026 — Only 2 days left to get your St. Paul’s Foundation 50/50 raffle tickets! Draw closes this Friday September 11 at 10:00 PM PST.

The jackpot is now over $225,000 – and half could be yours!

Share the warmth – dignity through kindness
At the St. Paul’s Hospital Overdose Prevention Site (OPS), people come in seeking more than safety – they come for a moment of calm in a space that treats them with dignity. The OPS offers a low barrier, non-judgmental place where patients can use substances safely while staying connected to care.

Individuals, often unhoused, living in shelters or on the streets, are met by staff and peer workers where they’re at—with a warm greeting, a listening ear, and the kind of trust that can take time to build.

Because of your raffle support, the Share the Warmth Project came to life, offering something extra: hats, socks, gloves, rain ponchos, waterproof footwear and snacks for those who arrive at the site without the basic cold weather essentials.

These small items make a big difference. A dry pair of socks or a snack often becomes a moment of connection—a simple way of saying “you matter.” Those moments help open the door to deeper engagement and trusting relationships, creating a supportive environment for individuals who often face significant barriers to accessing health services.

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

VANCOUVER, BC, September 5, 2026 — The jackpot is growing, get your St. Paul’s Foundation 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.

Freezing pain in its tracks
If you’ve ever felt a sharp sting from a stubbed toe or post-surgery ache, you know how powerful pain can be.

At St. Paul’s Hospital, a technique called cryoneurolysis uses extreme cold to temporarily block acute pain signals. Thanks to new technology introduced by anesthesiologist Dr. Michael Jew, this once-cumbersome procedure is now portable and can be delivered right at the bedside.

Using a device about the size of a power drill, physicians use ultrasound to guide a tiny ice ball to the nerve, freezing pain in its tracks.

For patients like Julie Bard, who received cryoneurolysis with her ninth cardiac surgery, the difference was dramatic.

“I was more alert, sitting up sooner, and didn’t feel as much pain,” she says. “I didn’t need as much pain medication, and I wasn’t getting sick all the time from the side effects.”

Your raffle support is part of a bigger journey – one where patients find pain relief, embrace comfort, and step into healing with strength and hope.

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

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.
