The Stratford General Hospital Foundation is excited to announce the return of its online 50/50 draw fundraiser, kicking off on September 3, 2024 at 10 a.m.

“We’re thrilled to bring this fundraiser back after a successful run in 2021,” says Cheryl Hunt, Executive Director. “This time around we’ve got new price points and are happy to be adding some Early Bird Draws!”

Starting September 3, 2024 at 10 a.m. tickets will be available for purchase at www.sgh5050.ca. In-person ticket sales will also be available at the Stratford General Hospital Foundation office, using debit or credit card, during office hours.  Please note, supporters must purchase new tickets each month to be entered in that month’s draw.

Early Bird Draws

Those who purchase tickets early for September’s draw also have the chance to be entered into two Early Bird draws.

Early Bird Draw #1 - $250 September 10 - tickets deadline  September 9 at 11 p.m.  

Early Bird Draw #2 - $500 September 17 - ticket deadline September 16 at 11 p.m.

Tickets purchased prior to each Early Bird Draw Deadline will be eligible for that date’s prize draw and all remaining draws for the month. 

The first Grand Prize Draw will take place on October 1 at 9 a.m. All ticket purchases must be made by September 30 at 11:59 p.m. The next draw will open immediately after, on October 1 at 10 a.m.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will support the Foundation’s $30 Million In Our Hands Capital Campaign - the most ambitious campaign to date. Funds raised will put the latest equipment and technology in the hands of the healthcare professionals at the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance – Stratford General Hospital site. It will also help make the hospital’s new Cancer & Medical Care Clinic with co-located Pharmacy a reality.

“Thanks to tremendous community support we’re nearing our $30 Million goal,” adds Hunt. “Fundraising is like a marathon, and we hope these monthly 50/50 draws will help bring us even closer to the finish line - or even push us past it! What’s great about this type of fundraiser is that we are able to give back to some of the incredible people who support us each year. In 2021 we gave out over $73,000 in prize winnings.”
