The Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) is pleased to announce that it has launched its online 50/50 raffle series in support of their ‘Because of you, we can’ campaign.
An online 50/50 raffle series offers community members the opportunity to buy 50/50 tickets through stevenson5050.ca with all proceeds going towards addressing the greatest needs of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. It’s crucial to keep discovering fresh avenues for promoting and encouraging positive community involvement in support of the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. With the assistance of the community, Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation has set a goal to establish a thriving raffle that not only rewards participants but also enriches our entire community by continuing to provide quality health care close to home.
“What an exciting time for our community, to be able to participate in this great fundraising initiative,” stated Mary Thomas, CEO of Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. “We are grateful to the community of supporters who purchase tickets now and in the future for our 50/50 raffle series. Your support helps to ensure that Stevenson Memorial Hospital will continue to provide exceptional care in south Simcoe.”
The online 50/50 raffle series will run monthly, beginning on the first of every month with the first raffle opening on Nov. 1, 2023. Online tickets can be bought online only via stevenson5050.ca. Tickets purchased for the November and December 2023 grand-prize draws are eligible for the corresponding month’s early-bird draw if purchased by the designated deadline. Ticket prices are five for $10, 50 for $25, 250 for $45, and 750 for $75.
The $43-million ‘Because of you, we can’ campaign is the largest campaign in Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s history. Donations received help purchase essential equipment, upgrade technology, and complete critical renovations essential to the transformation and redevelopment of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. The hospital’s redevelopment plan includes a new emergency department that will triple in size. With an emergency department built to manage 7,000 visits a year that currently manages close to 40,000 per year, along with a growing population in south Simcoe and surrounding communities, this redevelopment is needed today and for future generations.
