In response to overwhelming demand from the community, The Scarborough Hospital Foundation is proud to launch its Scarborough Win a Car Charity Raffle, giving hospital patients, staff, volunteers and the general public the opportunity to win a 2011 Toyota Camry. Community partner and local business Scarborough Toyota has graciously donated the prize, worth $30,758.83, to help fundraise for the purchase of two CT Scanners for The Scarborough Hospital.
“Scarborough Toyota has been part of the fabric of the Scarborough community for over 30 years,” says Bryan Rowntree, President, Scarborough Toyota and Toyota on the Park. “We are honoured to do our part to support The Scarborough Hospital.”
There are only 7,500 tickets being sold, available for purchase in person at Scarborough Toyota, in the Gift Shops run by Volunteer Services at both the General campus and the Birchmount campus, and at the Foundation office in the General campus Medical Mall. Tickets will be available from December 1, 2010, until 4 p.m. on January 31, 2011. The draw will take place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 2, 2011, where one lucky winner will win a brand new, free car. Rules and regulations are available online at www.tsh.to.
“The Foundation is grateful to Scarborough Toyota and the hospital’s Volunteer Services for partnering with us in this community-wide endeavour,” says Michael Mazza, TSH Foundation President & CEO. “Each $20 ticket sold brings us one step closer to replacing our outdated CT Scanners, but it also allows both our internal and external family of supporters to come together and show how much they care about their Scarborough hospital.”
