The Stratford General Hospital Foundation has launched a new fundraiser.
Foundation Executive Director, Andrea Page, says because of the pandemic, it's not safe to fundraise money they way they normally do, but pandemic or not, the hospital still needs equipment to look after patients. Page says, in this case, they're hoping raise money for new beds. She points out when you're in the hospital, the bed is your home.
Page explains the new fundraiser is a 50/50 draw.
"It's stratfordhospital5050.com, choose how many tickets you wish to purchase, you hit the button, you use your credit card and you get your tickets emailed to you. So it's all online and it's all contact-less and it has an impact on our hospital."
Page says tickets went on sale Monday, February 1st and the launch sponsor is RE/MAX a-b Realty and they're starting the guaranteed February win at three-thousand dollars.
