Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation $100,000 Cash Lottery is 21 years old and we are celebrating the occasion! We are utilizing 21 years in most of our draws and it promises to be fun and REWARDING! The first draws will take place on September 21, 2015 where we will be drawing a ticket for $1,000 every 21 minutes for a total of $21,000!! Just think of all those chances to win! The first deadline will be on September 11th so get your tickets now!
The $100,000 Lottery remains the most successful revenue generating fundraising event of the Foundation. Proceeds from the 2015 Lottery have been committed to the replacement of an Automated Pill Packager for BUH’s Pharmacy. Every day pharmacists and technicians at BUH prepare and dispense medicine to over 200 patients in acute care and community programs within The Battlefords. It is vital to replace this outdated and essential piece of equipment as soon as possible to ensure that the pharmacists can continue their safe and efficient dispensing of medicine for our family and loved ones.
“Your ticket purchases have a significant impact in this community. The funds raised stay in The Battlefords to help people in The Battlefords and surrounding communities. We thank you for this support and are very grateful for the commitment The Battlefords businesses and individuals have to local healthcare”, noted Roger Anderson, BUH Foundation’s Board of Directors Chair.
Tickets are $50.00 each, three for $125.00, and new this year five tickets for $200 (only 100 sets of these available). In total there are only 12,500 tickets available. They can be purchased at BUH Foundation’s Office, BUH Foundation’s Gratefully Yours Food & Gift Shop, and in the main lobby of BUH. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 306 446 6652 or toll-free 1 888 946 4284 (1 888 WIN 4BUH), or online at www.buhfoundation.com.
