**************************
The Group Health Centre Trust Fund is thrilled to announce that the 15th annual Big Wish Lottery (Lic. 6816) has officially launched.

The lottery underwent a few changes for its 15th year:

  • The Big Wish Lottery’s brand has been updated to give it a more modern and colourful look.
  • The draw date has been moved closer to the holiday season – this year’s draw will be January 3, ensuring some lucky winners will be kicking the New Year off right.
  • The top prize has been raised from $70,000 to $75,000 – one of our highest top prizes to date!

There are 12 prizes total to be awarded – the top prize, plus a secondary prize of $5,000 and 10 prizes of $1,000 each.

Tickets are still just $20, and this year’s proceeds will go toward Ear, Nose and Throat equipment for a second ENT Specialist at the Group Health Centre – Dr. Hosam Amoodi.

In addition to being an Otolarynologist (Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist), Dr. Amoodi is the only fellowship trained Otologist (ear specialist) and Neurotologist (Brain/Ear Nerve Specialist) in Northern Ontario.

He specializes in treating complex issues of the ear, including issues with balance and dizziness (regulated by your inner ear).

It’s important to note: medical equipment costs are not covered by the government.

In order to recruit top notch physicians like Dr. Amoodi, and in order to provide the best possible care to each one of the over 71,000 patients served by GHC, fundraising efforts like the Big Wish Lottery are crucial to ensuring the Group Health Centre is equipped with the latest in medical technology.

The Big Wish Lottery is the Group Health Centre Trust Fund’s largest fundraising event of the year.

Twelve thousand tickets have been printed, and are available at various locations throughout Sault Ste. Marie and the Algoma District.

For a full list of ticket locations, visit www.ghc.on.ca/bigwish.

Tickets can also be ordered by calling the GHC Trust Fund office at 705 759-5530.

The Big Wish Lottery would like to acknowledge and thank our generous sponsors: CTV, SooToday, Local2, Kiss 100.5, Country 104.3, and the Sault Star.
