Congratulations go to Leanne Wood!
She’s the latest winner of the Townsend Smith Hospice Foundations (TSHF) Catch the Ace progressive 50/50 raffle. Each week, a winner is given a card from a deck. They automatically win the weekly pot, but could win the jackpot if they pull the elusive ace of spades. With 52 cards in a deck, there are now 49 cards still left to be picked. Wood pulled the two of clubs to win $146 – leaving the jackpot still available for next week.
Events coordinator for the TSHF, Mallory Crippen, hopes Wood will treat herself with the winnings.
The jackpot is sitting at an even $2500. That’s thanks to sponsors Laurie Day and Liane LaBarbera of IG Wealth Management. The jackpot will increase once the donations surpass the flat rate. Crippen thinks that could be in the coming weeks.
Crippen explains where the money from raffle is going.
On May 7th, the TSHF is planning on holding its Hike for Hospice event. Crippen says that things are dependent on restrictions at the moment. The government appears to be in the process of lifting most, if not all, restrictions; however, with two months to go, that could always change. She says to keep May 7th in your calendars until more information can be released. Hear about last year’s event here.
The Foundation feels the community would be better served by having palliative and respite care available in either Milton or Halton Hills.
This is the third go around for the Catch the Ace draw for Townsend Smith. Last year’s draw was won by a group known as the She-Beasts who workout out of Milton’s FirePower CrossFit gym. They won a collective $27,941. You can read about their win here.
The next draw will be Friday, March 11th at 12:00 p.m.. To participate and buy your tickets, click here.
