CHI Health St. Francis Foundation Ticket to Win Returns for Eighth Year

CHI Health St. Francis Foundation Ticket to Win is returning for its eighth year. Ticket sales, for the Foundation’s premiere fundraising raffle, kick-off at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 17 in Conference Room 2 at the hospital. Raffle tickets, priced at $100 each, will be available at the kick-off event, the hospital Gift Shop or a board member.

Prizes for the Ticket to Win raffle drawing include a cash grand prize of $10,000, cash first prize of $5,000, as well as ten additional $500 cash card prizes. Winning tickets will be announced at the annual Ticket to Win social event on Thursday, June 5 at the hospital. The community is invited to the free event beginning at 4:30 p.m in the St. Francis lobby.

Half of all proceeds from Ticket to Win provides life-saving equipment and training to emergency first responders for unbudgeted items in Hall, Hamilton, Howard, Merrick and Greeley counties–over $548,251 has been distributed since its start. 

This year, the remaining half of all proceeds will be directed to the state-of-the-art CHI Health St. Francis Education Simulation Center. A resource for St. Francis clinicians, area emergency medical personnel and the community, the training center will feature an adult and an infant high-fidelity manikin. The computerized manikins mimic human physiology and are used to recreate real-life trauma scenarios providing learners with an opportunity to practice and refine clinical skills by performing a wide range of critical life-saving tasks.

A video of the high-fidelity whole body trauma simulator will be shown during the kick-off event.

After the kick-off event, raffle tickets can be purchased in the hospital’s gift shop and Foundation office; or from any board member or trustee. Tickets can also be purchased online at: Give.CHIhealth.com/SFF-T2W.

In addition to prize drawings, the annual Ticket to Win social event will feature gourmet appetizers, a silent and live auction and drawings for several must-be-present-to-win door prizes including cash cards for general attendees and gift cards for emergency first responders who are in attendance.
