The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce the winner of the Week 17 Catch the Ace progressive jackpot raffle, presented by OK Tire Pembroke. Congratulations to Kathleen Schroeder of Pembroke, who won the weekly pot of $6,183.
Roger Martin, Executive Director of the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation (PRHF), shared exciting news about the Week 18 draw, which has already begun. The estimated jackpot for Week 18 has soared to over $118,000 if the Ace of Spades is revealed.
“We’re incredibly grateful to OK Tire for their continued support. Thanks to them, more funds from the Catch the Ace raffle will go directly toward purchasing new equipment for Pembroke Regional Hospital,” said Roger Martin. “So far, over $173,000 has been raised in 17 weeks, funding 10 new hospital beds valued at $117,170. Now, we’re raising money for a new Ultrasound machine for our Diagnostic Imaging Department, valued at $200,000.”
To participate in the Catch the Ace raffle, tickets are available online at www.PRHcatchtheace.ca or at several local sales locations during 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 that increases until someone catches the Ace of Spades. Ticket prices are: 3 tickets for $5, 10 tickets for $10, 50 tickets for $20, and 250 tickets for $40. Fifty percent of ticket sales go directly to supporting the hospital’s highest priority equipment needs.
