The Scarborough Hospital Foundation presents Win a Car Charity Raffle winner

One car, over 650,000 winners. While David Peters drives away in a brand new 2011 Toyota Camry, each and every Scarborough resident will benefit from new equipment purchased from proceeds of The Scarborough Hospital Foundation’s Win a Car Charity Raffle. Thanks to a partnership with local businesses Scarborough Toyota, Toyota on the Park and Lexus on the Park, funds will go towards the purchase of two new CT Scanners for The Scarborough Hospital. In just two months, the hospital’s Volunteer Services sold 3,187 tickets.

“The Scarborough Win a Car Charity Raffle was a win-win situation for everyone,” says Bryan Rowntree, President, Scarborough Toyota and Toyota on the Park. “It’s important for us to support excellent healthcare at The Scarborough Hospital, for our families, our employees and our customers.”

Raffle tickets were $20 each, available from December 1, 2010, until 4 p.m. on January 31, 2011. The draw took place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 2, 2011, at the Scarboro Golf & Country Club, where David was informed of his win.

“The Scarborough Hospital is our local community hospital, and both my wife and I have been patients here,” says David. “I wanted to support our hospital, so I bought a ticket, but I never thought I’d win. It’s a great feeling knowing that buying a ticket can make such a big difference in helping to buy equipment.”
