There are only two days left to purchase your Big Wish Lottery ticket to support the Group Health Centre (GHC) Trust Fund. When you buy a Big Wish lottery ticket, you do not only get a chance to win one of the amazing grand prize packages, but you are also helping a local charity purchase medical equipment for our community.
“With the generous support we received from the community last year, GHC was able to purchase all of the equipment identified on our Equipment Needs List,” says Tricia Lesnick, GHC Trust Fund Manager. “In 2022, GHC was able to purchase, among other things, a surgical scope, an HD surgical monitor, electrocautery, vital signs monitor, and a bone density scanner – all of which will benefit our patients.”
With Big Wish’s draw date fast approaching, GHC supporters are reminded that there are $100,000 in prizes to be awarded on Feb. 1. There is a chance to win $70,000 cash as well as six other $5,000 locally-focused prize packages. Each one is tailored to fulfill a specific wish in one’s life. Sales close on Jan. 31 at 11:59 p.m.
“We are beyond thrilled with all the support we have received this year for our Big Wish Lottery draw,” says Lesnick. “We are looking forward to once again purchasing as much equipment as possible, and that wouldn’t be possible without the community’s support of our Big Wish Lottery.”
