The Group Health Centre (GHC) Trust Fund is thrilled to unveil the Bunkie Lottery, an innovative fundraising initiative that promises to capture the imagination and support of the local community.
Designed to raise crucial funds for the acquisition of a state-of-the-art mammography unit, this unique raffle offers participants the opportunity to win an array of enticing prizes, headlined by a grand prize Bunkie Package valued at a remarkable $60,000.
This Bunkie Package, which serves as the centerpiece of the lottery, will grant the lucky winner the chance to enjoy a luxurious and fully-equipped backyard oasis, complete with a cozy and comfortable Bunkie structure that can be customized to suit the winner’s personal style and preferences. Beyond this grand prize, the Bunkie Lottery boasts an impressive total prize pool of $70,000, ensuring that there will be multiple chances for community members to walk away as winners while simultaneously contributing to a cause that is vital to the health and wellbeing of the region.
By purchasing tickets for this innovative fundraiser, residents can not only support the GHC Trust Fund’s mission to enhance local healthcare services, but also dream of transforming their own backyard into a tranquil and inviting retreat. With the Bunkie Lottery, the GHC Trust Fund has crafted a truly captivating and engaging way for the community to come together, have fun, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who rely on the organization’s vital services.
The Bunkie Lottery grand prize includes a $20,000 Rockwood 160 bunkie from Bunkie Life, a family-operated business in Ontario, plus an additional $40,000 in cash to assist with construction and furnishing costs. Alternatively, winners may opt for a $50,000 cash prize. “Partnering with Bunkie Life, known for their contributions to Ronald McDonald House Canada and Make-A-Wish Canada, aligns perfectly with our mission of enhancing healthcare services,” said Tricia Lesnick, Trust Fund Manager.
“Bunkies offer so many options for people to create additional space at their home or camp. You can add a guesthouse for family members, create a playhouse for your kids in the backyard, use it as an office, create a rental property, and so much more. The possibilities are endless, and the proceeds are going towards a very critical piece of equipment which makes this so meaningful,” said Lesnick.
