Chatham-Kent, we have spring ignition.
The Igniting Healthcare Spring 50/50 fundraiser is underway.
This year’s Spring 50/50 features $9,000 in total Early Bird prizes, including $1,000 weekly draws every Thursday to June 5, and a bonus $4,000 Early Bird draw on June 10.
The Grand Prize Draw will take place on June 12, with ticket sales closing at noon that day.
“We are so excited to kick off another 50/50 campaign,” said Christine Mitchell, president & CEO of the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation, in a media release. “These lotteries are such a fun way to rally our community and give back to our hospital – and of course, we absolutely love getting to call up lucky winners and share the amazing news with them! We’re so grateful for the generosity we continue to see from across Chatham-Kent and beyond. It’s because of this support that we’re able to make a real difference for local health care.”
Last year’s Spring 50/50 winner, Jason Howes of St. Thomas – a former resident of McKay’s Corners – took home $74,690.
Proceeds from the Igniting Healthcare 50/50 continue to support the highest priority needs of CKHA. Most recently, this fund helped purchase a new fluoroscopy machine for CKHA, contributing the final balance needed after a three-month campaign raised $584,210 toward this $1 million piece of equipment.
Igniting tickets can be purchased online at www.ignite5050.ca any time from now until June 12 at 11:59 a.m.
In person ticket sales will also be available at the Foundation’s Chatham office (9 Ursuline Ave.), Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and from the Foundation’s office inside CKHA’s Wallaceburg Site (325 Margaret Ave.) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Wednesday throughout the campaign.
Tickets can only be purchased by Ontario residents over 18 years of age.
