Since 2020, the Canuck Place 50/50 has raised over $1.9 million. Half has gone to five lucky winners, and half goes to support exceptional care in Canuck Place hospices in Vancouver and Abbotsford, and in communities across BC and the Yukon.
Canuck Place operates 13 patient beds and 8 family suites through two hospices in Vancouver and Abbotsford. Services include medical respite and family support, pain and symptom management, provincial 24-hour clinical care line, music and recreation therapy, education and art, grief, loss, and bereavement counselling, as well as end-of-life care.
For over 25 years, Canuck Place has been providing exceptional complex medical care, while helping children and families embrace living fully with the time they have left together. But not without donor support. That’s where your 50/50 ticket purchase can make a difference.
With donors, their talented team, including over 164 volunteers, they care for children with short lives and the families who love them. Follow Canuck Place on Facebook for more news and information.
50/50 tickets may be sold and purchased only in British Columbia. Ticket purchasers must be 19 years of age or older. Know your limit, play within it.
