The Fisher-Titus Foundation is holding a $10,000 Blooming Cash Raffle from now through April 2 in support of improved cardiac technology for North Central EMS.

“We are excited about the Foundation’s new fundraiser — the $10,000 Blooming Cash Raffle,” said Angie Smith, director of the

Fisher-Titus Foundation. “The cash raffle is a fun and affordable way for the community to support North Central EMS and their dedicated team in providing lifesaving care for our neighbors, friends and family.

“We are so grateful for the support we have received from the staff, leadership and the community in the early days of the rollout.” Tickets cost $20 each or 3 for $50. They can be purchased by visiting fishertitu­s.org/cashraffle, at the Fisher-Titus Auxiliary Gift Shop, or by calling the Foundation office at 419660-2528.

Only 3,000 tickets will be sold and tickets are first come, first served.

The $10,000 Grand Prize Drawing will take place at 4:30 p.m., April 2, in the Fisher-Titus Patient Pavilion Lobby.

Entries must be received by 4 p.m., March 31, to be entered. Winner need not be present to win, the news release said.

The drawing will be broadcast live on the FisherTitu­s Facebook page.

Proceeds from the Blooming Cash Raffle support the purchase of improved cardiac technology at North Central EMS.

The state-of-the-art Zoll X-Series monitors are equipped with real-time CPR feedback and have integrated WiFi to allow for communicat­ion in the field to emergency and cardiology department­s giving them the ability to facilitate a more rapid cardiac response… because minutes mean muscle.

North Central EMS First Responders serve roughly 60,000 people across a 911 service area of over 500 square miles in Huron, Erie, Sandusky and Seneca counties, according to the news release.
