Cause
The Heart of BC 50/50 Lottery supports proactive, upstream health programs across the heart of British Columbia. Through continued partnership with the YMCA of Southern Interior BC, and regional health Foundations throughout the Interior Health Authority, proceeds fund community health programs that seek to improve wellbeing across the entire spectrum of health care. Together, we are keeping people out of hospitals and urgent care centres, and reducing the strain on acute care systems.
In its first year, the Heart of BC 50/50 funded programs such as Sport for Life, which provides physical literacy education and encourages an active lifestyle for elementary students, in addition to helping fund the opening of a new Foundry youth mental health centre.
Each and every single ticket purchased not only secures your chance to win half the jackpot (the first two winners took home over $500,000 total!), but also helps to build the proactive, sustainable system of health care we all deserve in BC.
