Theresa Ann Pirot Wins with BUH Foundation Monthly Lottery
April 8th 2016
North Battleford, SK – April 8, 2016 – Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation declared Theresa Ann Pirot the Previous Purchaser winner of $1,000.00 in the 2016 / 2017 Monthly Lottery, drawn on Friday, April 8th. Theresa is from Cochin and was pleased to receive this good news on a Friday morning. While many ticket buyers purchase their tickets as a donation to their local hospital, it is always exciting when BUH Foundation can call a buyer, declare them a winner, and make their day a little brighter.
Theresa Ann, along with all the other ticket buyers, are helping to purchase a new Automatic Pill Packager for BUH’s Pharmacy Department. Every day pharmacists and technicians prepare and dispense medicine to over 200 patients in the acute care and community programs within The Battlefords. It is vital to replace this outdated and essential piece of equipment to ensure that the pharmacists can continue their safe and efficient dispensing of medicine for our family and loved ones. While BUH Foundation is still raising funds to meet their commitment the unit has arrived in the Pharmacy department and the pharmacists and technicians are excited and looking forward to the difference it will make in their department and for their patients.
The Monthly Lottery’s next winner will be declared on Friday, April 22nd, following the Early Bird deadline on Friday, April 15th, at 5:00pm. Tickets are $110 each and available at BUH Foundation office or BUH Foundation’s “Gratefully Yours” Gift & Food Shop, both located within BUH. Orders may also be placed over the phone by calling 306-446-6652.
There are 240 tickets still available, with 157 draws still to be made over the course of the next twelve months. Only 1,300 tickets are sold. Following the Early Bird draw on the 22nd the monthly draws will take place, beginning Friday, April 29th. Thirteen prizes totaling $4,000.00 will be awarded every month, including the top prize of $1,000.00, second prize of $600.00, third prize of $400.00 and ten additional prizes of $200.00 each.
BUH Foundation Board of Directors and staff are grateful to all of their ticket buyers and supporters. The funds raised to purchase medical equipment and make a difference in the community could not be possible without their continued support. Thank you to those who have already purchased their Monthly Lottery tickets, we wish you the best of luck in the upcoming draws. If you haven’t purchased we hope to hear from you soon.
