Imagine a chance to win cash while simultaneously contributing to the enhancement of healthcare in your community. That's precisely what the new Kin Cares 50/50 draw offers! This innovative initiative, launched by the Royal Canadian Legion in collaboration with the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation, is designed not only to provide excitement over potential winnings but also to support the vital expansion of the Kincardine hospital.
Scheduled monthly, with the inaugural draw set for the end of April, this lottery aims to engage community members in a meaningful way. The funds generated will directly benefit the hospital's ambitious development plans, which include significant upgrades such as modernizing the emergency department, improving the medical imaging unit and laboratory, and introducing Bruce County's very first MRI machine. As of mid-December, a commendable $12 million has already been raised towards the foundation’s total fundraising objective of $18 million.
The Royal Canadian Legion and the foundation issued a heartfelt statement, emphasizing the critical importance of a modernized healthcare facility: "Securing a modern healthcare facility isn’t just a milestone, it’s a lifeline that will bring advanced, timely care close to home for families, friends, and neighbours. By joining forces, we’re making a heartfelt investment in the wellbeing of those who have served and in the long-term health of everyone who calls this community home."
For those interested in participating, tickets for the 50/50 draw can be purchased both online and at the local Legion branch. Additionally, updates regarding the monthly draws will be readily available on the Kin Cares 50/50 Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067345684654). Don't miss out on this opportunity to support a crucial cause while having a chance to win!
