Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation's $100,000 Cash Lottery is 22 years old and the foundation is celebrating the occasion!
"We are utilizing 22 years in most of our draws and it promises to be fun and rewarding," says the foundation.
The first draws will take place on Sept. 26, when they will be drawing a ticket for $1,000 every 22 minutes for a total of $21,000!
"The first deadline will be on Sept. 11, so get your tickets now!"
The $100,000 Lottery remains the most successful revenue generating fundraising event of the foundation. Proceeds from the 2016 lottery have been committed towards BUH’s laboratory. Laboratory diagnostics are an integral part of objective information for healthcare providers to use for improved disease management and patient care. BUH’s laboratory processes over 200,000 tests every year and this number is increasing as a large number of regional laboratory tests from other healthcare facilities are now being processed at BUH. In order to process a variety of specimens in a quicker, more accurate and detailed manner, which provides faster diagnosis and treatment, the lab needs new medical equipment and to upgrade current units to be technologically advanced.
“In order for us to carry out our job efficiently and effectively we need to have the tools that enable us to do so. The Foundation has been very supportive in accessing this equipment for us and we are so thankful to everyone who supports their fundraisers. My family and I moved to the Battlefords two years ago and we are amazed at this community’s generosity and kind heartedness. Thank you everyone for helping us!” states Rachelle O’Keefe, Regional Director Prairie North Health Region Laboratory Services.
