Another record jackpot for Riverside Health Care monthly cash draw

A Fort Frances woman is the latest winner of Riverside Health Care’s 50/50 cash draw.

Julia (Charmaine) Hebert of Fort Frances claimed the prize of $27,952.50

It is the largest jackpot since the 50/50 draws came to be for the hospital.

Hebert has been a long-time supporter and advocate of the cash draw, and says the win reinforces her decision to continue supporting local draws.

“That is honestly fantastic!” states Hebert in a release.

“Come on, let’s get this bigger.”

The draws have experienced an increase in interest in recent months, with the jackpot exceeding the $10,000 mark for the past three draws.

Riverside is using the draws to help raise money for a new MRI unit to be installed at La Verendrye General Hospital in Fort Frances and new digital X-ray units at La Verendrye and Rainy River Health Centre.

“Support from people like Charmaine, who understand that every ticket helps make a big impact, makes an incredible difference,” states Holly Kaemingh, Director of Fundraising at Riverside.

“This record-breaking draw is a powerful example of what our community can achieve together to support local health care.”

Tickets for January draw are now available online at www.rhc5050.com, La Verendrye’s administration office, by calling 807-274-6635 or visiting every Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., inside the main entrance area of La Verendrye.
