Proceeds from Sault Area Hospital Foundation lottery programs help support the purchase of medical equipment for Sault Area Hospital.
On February 27, Alissa Begin of Sault Ste. Marie, ON won a $66,632 jackpot in the Sault Area Hospital Foundation (SAHF) February 50/50 draw. Alissa’s lucky number (F-17522015) was drawn electronically, and she was called immediately.
Alissa has worked at Sault Area Hospital (SAH) for the last 12 years. As someone who works on the front lines, she understands the importance of supporting local healthcare. “I strongly believe in the importance of investing in patient care,” shared Alissa. “New equipment and services can be life-changing, especially for hospitals and patients across Northern Ontario where access to specialized care can sometimes be limited.”
Giving back to the community is very important to Alissa. “I try to give back when I can and support other community fundraisers,” said Alissa. “Winning this draw is truly an honour, and I’m thankful to be able to contribute to such a meaningful cause.”
Alissa is still making plans for her winnings, but paying off some debt is at the top of her list.
Alissa wasn’t the only winner this month – February’s Early Bird, Suzanne Bowman of Sudbury, ON, was the lucky winner of $10,000 on February 19, with ticket F-21112459.
“Alissa’s story really shows the full circle impact of the SAHF 50/50,“ said Teresa Martone, Executive Director for Sault Area Hospital Foundation. “She supports the program, works at SAH, and uses the equipment funded through community supporters every day. It’s a powerful reminder that when our community gives, everyone wins.”
