The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation (PRHF) is thrilled to announce the Week #1 winner of their Catch the Ace progressive jackpot raffle. Chris Biesenthal of Pembroke won the guaranteed weekly pot of $2,401, with his ticket revealing the 5 of Hearts. The prize was sponsored by Pierre’s West End Garage, with OK Tire Pembroke serving as the presenting sponsor.
PRHF Executive Director Roger Martin highlighted that Week #2 of the Catch the Ace raffle has begun, featuring an estimated jackpot of over $10,000 if the Ace of Spades is drawn. The estimated weekly prize is over $2,500.
Martin expressed gratitude to OK Tire for their continued support, noting that the funds raised will be used to purchase new equipment for the hospital. In just one week, the raffle has raised $6,003, contributing towards the purchase of ten new hospital beds, valued at $117,170.
Tickets for the raffle can be purchased on their website or at local businesses including Holiday Inn Express, Cork Culture, NRTC Communications (Petawawa), Bumpy Roads Studio (Pembroke), and Making Seasons Bright. Ticket prices are 3 for $5, 10 for $10, 50 for $20, and 250 for $40.
