Great Plains College and Dr. Noble Irwin Regional Healthcare Foundation partnering to ‘Chase the Ace’

The Dr. Noble Irwin Regional Healthcare Foundation and Great Plains College are excited to announce a joint fundraiser. Tickets for “Chase the Ace in Support of Health and Education” were available beginning January 13.

The two organizations were looking for an opportunity to partner and raise additional funds to benefit health care and post-secondary education in their regions. They decided to combine their efforts to reach a wider audience and allow individuals and communities to support both health care and college entrance scholarships with their participation.

Individual tickets are available for $10 apiece or multiple tickets can be purchased at 10 for $25 or 50 for $50. The jackpot will begin at $2,000.

Weekly draws will take place at the Dr. Noble Irwin Regional Healthcare Foundation’s office in Swift Current each Thursday at 4 p.m.. Chase the Ace is a progressive-style lottery where 20 per cent of the weekly ticket sales goes towards the winner whose name is drawn, 30 per cent of the weekly sales goes to the jackpot, and the foundation and college will share the remaining 50 per cent of weekly ticket sales. Each week’s raffle winner whose name is drawn will also pick an envelope number that will have a playing card in it and they will win the accumulated jackpot if the ace of spades is drawn. If the ace of spades is not drawn, the playing card will be removed and the jackpot rolls over to the following week.

Complete rules of play are available at www.greatplainscollege.ca and www.drirwinfoundation.com.
