The Kidney Foundation is holding an exciting event this summer, called Cash 4 the Holidays 50/50. As one of Saskatchewan’s biggest 50/50 draws offers, the chance to win up to a half-million dollars is at stake for the event that will only be a week long. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 10th and the draw will take place on Friday, June 17th at noon.
“We want to offer a fun alternative way for the people of Saskatchewan to support the cause, our kidney and transplant community right here in Saskatchewan,” says Joyce Van Deurzen, Executive Director of The Kidney Foundation, Saskatchewan Branch.
Some information you may not know:
• 1 in 10 Canadians has kidney disease.
• There is no cure for kidney disease, both dialysis and transplants are a form of life support.
• 78% of Canadians waiting for an organ transplant are waiting for a Kidney.
• Kidney disease is not only devastating physically and emotionally; it also comes with a huge financial burden. Before the pandemic, requests for assistance were already greater than the funds available.
The Kidney Foundation is an organization that offers support services for those afflicted with kidney disease. They aid these individuals with short-term financial assistance in times of need, peer support to help patients and their families cope, and valuable information including webinars, handbooks, brochures, and dietary web tools. The Kidney Foundation is one of the leading sources of research funding when it comes to kidney disease and transplantations. Your support of the Kidney Foundation makes an impact where it matters most.
Tickets options are: 1 for $5; 60 for $20; 200 for $50; or 500 for $100.
