Health
care is an expensive industry. Medical attention to patients is all about
state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, doctors and nurses, intricate surgeries,
rehabilitation exercise gadgets, research and readiness, prescription
medicines, and the bricks and mortar hospitals.
In
Woodstock, Heart FM conducted a radiothon recently and raised more than $35,000
for the local hospitals maternal care department. The 104.7 on your FM dial
station says they plan on evolving this into an annual event. It was successful
thanks to sponsors and volunteers, but mostly due to the actual donations and
pledges. I pledged money and made a challenge to all other Woodstock-area Realtors
and also Lions Club members.
DREAM
LOTTERY - LONDON
A
massive annual fundraiser is underway by the London Health Sciences Foundation (LHSF)
and it includes Dream Lottery. Their motto is “Every Ticket Changes A Life”. As
they say in personal finances, you can’t get a charitable donation tax receipt
after buying a lottery ticket, but you receive the opportunity to win one (or
more) of many great prizes.
The
Millstone Highland Dream Home, for example, is located at 120 Carnegie Lane in
London (South off Commissioners between Wonderland and Ridout) and is valued at
$1.467 million, which includes 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 3,600 sq ft of
luxury on the main 2 levels. The home is open for viewing Thursday to Sunday,
from noon to 5 p.m.
Proceeds
from the Dream Lottery will also go to Children’s Health Foundation and St.
Joseph’s Health Care Foundation.
The
collaborative campaign features many draw dates to encourage early ticket
sales, including a Loyalty Draw on Nov. 2, Bonus Draw on Nov. 30, and an Early
Bird draw on Dec. 14.
The
grand prize numbers will be selected Jan. 10 and 11. Throughout February, there
will also be calendar draw dates daily (Money and Memories Calendar Draws).
By
the way, don’t rely on my typing skills – check the website for details as
there are over 11,000 prizes in total available and 210,000 tickets are
available.
At
the London Knights home game of Oct 13, the local OHL club wore sweaters with a
Dream Lottery logo to help promote ticket sales. The Knights have participated
in several hospital fundraisers over many years.
Fundraising
is very important and even though this appear to be a lottery solely to benefit
London hospitals, we all realize that many patients from outside London and
Middlesex receive care in the Forest City. Myself – for example – had a hip
replacement in London.
According
to a story in the London Free Press, more than $30 million has been raised over
the past 21 years in this lottery, and you shouldn’t wait to purchase your
ticket as over the years 97% of available tickets have been sold.
Foundation executive director John MacFarlane
is hoping will continue when the fall Dream Lottery launches later this year.
“If we didn’t have that support, we wouldn’t
enjoy the kind of health care and research and activity that goes on,” he said.
“All the money stays here and I think people get that and understand that and
that’s why they want to support us.”
