Chamber partners with the Red Deer Hospice Society for second round of Red Deer branded clothing
In December, the Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce partnered with the Outreach Centre to donate a portion of proceeds from the Red Deer branded clothing that sold out after just one week. With stocks now replenished, the Chamber has partnered with the Red Deer Hospice Society to support their bed fundraising campaign.
“The Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce is excited to partner with the Red Deer Hospice Society for this campaign to help support this important and needed cause” commented Chamber CEO, Scott Robinson.
Three dollars from every hat and four dollars from every shirt sold will go to the Hospice Society.
“We are so fortunate to be able to partner with an incredible local organization to both celebrate our community and support Red Deer Hospice,” shared Jerri Taylor, Executive Director at the Red Deer Hospice Society. “Not only do supporters get to show their pride in our great community, they know that proceeds are helping us buy this much needed equipment!”
The clothing is available to purchase at www.reddeerchamber.com/store or at the Chamber office at 3017 Gaetz Avenue.
The Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce is a non-partisan, collaborative leader in building a vibrant community and fosters an environment where businesses can lead, be innovative, sustainable, and grow.
The Red Deer Hospice provides a quiet and caring environment for individuals who are at the end of life’s journey, a home away from home. In 2021, the Red Deer Hospice Society identified the need to replace their original ten resident beds after years of being well utilized. The resident bed is a place to feel comfortable and cared for and is a key item in providing quality end of life care for residents.
The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has announced the winners of the 2024 Red Deer Hospital Lottery Dream Home and Tiny Home prize packages, as well as the Mega Bucks 50.
The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.
In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.
The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.
The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
Now, during this momentous chapter in our history, we invite you to join us for the Grand Opening of the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence.
