The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation (PRHF) is thrilled to announce the latest winner of their Catch the Ace progressive jackpot raffle, presented by OK Tire Pembroke. Haley Fitzpatrick of Arnprior is the lucky recipient of the weekly pot amounting to $6,354. Fitzpatrick’s ticket revealed card #17, the 3 of Hearts, after being selected through the online random generator.
Roger Martin, Executive Director of PRHF, expressed excitement as the Catch the Ace Week #11 draw launches with an estimated jackpot of over $81,000 if the Ace is caught, along with a weekly prize exceeding $6,000.
“In just 10 weeks, we’ve raised an incredible $112,414 for the hospital,” shared Martin. “Thanks to your support, we’ve already funded vital equipment such as a Newborn Resuscitative and a Maternal Fetal Monitor for the Obstetrics unit at PRH.”
The funds raised through Catch the Ace are now directed towards acquiring five new hospital beds valued at approximately $55,000 for various departments at PRH, with over $43,000 already raised towards this goal.
Tickets for the raffle can be purchased online at www.PRHcatchtheace.ca or at various cash sale locations during their business hours, including Holiday Inn Express, Cork Culture, NRTC Communications (Petawawa), Bumpy Roads Studio (downtown Pembroke), and Making Seasons Bright.
The Catch the Ace raffle offers a guaranteed weekly prize and a progressive jackpot, with 50% of ticket sales contributing towards the hospital’s highest priority equipment needs. Ticket prices range from 3/$5 to 200/$40, offering participants the chance to win both the weekly prize and the progressive jackpot.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our community and donors for their unwavering support and generosity,” said Martin on behalf of PRHF and its Board of Directors.
