The St. Francis Valley Healthcare Foundation has launched a new lottery in support of the Growing Together Emergency Department Redevelopment Campaign. The lottery opens on October 23rd with the grand prize being a brand new 2024 Toyota Hybrid Rav 4 valued at $56,420.99. The grand prize winner can also decide to take the cash prize instead, valued at $44,000.
Christine Hudder Communications and Fundraising Officer tells myFM that this lottery wouldn’t be up and running if these two community-driven people didn’t set up like they did.
There are also three early bird prizes, a Yeti package valued at $1,500 being drawn on November 8th, $1,00o in cash being drawn on November 22, and an Apple gift card valued at $2,000 being drawn on December 6th. All proceeds raised will go towards the Foundation’s Growing Together Campaign for Emergency Department and Ambulatory Care Unit Redevelopment.
Dean Felhaber owner and operator of Ben Hokum and Son Limited tells myFM that being born in St. Francis Memorial Hospital has made it a personal mission for him to see it grow and get better for the community.
