ARNPRIOR – The Arnprior Regional Health Foundation (ARHF) has launched its first-ever lottery – Catch the Ace Arnprior – with proceeds supporting fundraising priorities, including life-saving medical equipment for Arnprior Regional Health (ARH).

The weekly progressive lottery is online, and tickets can be purchased at CatchTheAceArnprior.com with a real-time view of the jackpot total.

“The COVID-19 pandemic limited our ability to host annual fundraising events that our community has enjoyed and generously supported over the years,” ARHF manager of annual giving Christine Waite said. “Our attention quickly turned to what can we do online that would engage the community safely and raise much-needed funds. Catch the Ace Arnprior was the perfect fit.”

The weekly draw will be held every Tuesday at 6 p.m. and announced on CatchTheAceArnprior.com.

“By offering an online Catch the Ace Arnprior lottery, our foundation is showing true ingenuity and reacting to the new reality we live in by ‘playing the cards we have been dealt,’ so to speak,” ARHF executive director Ben Gardiner said. “This is a fun way for our friends and family to give back and ensure we have Great Care Close to Home.”

Catch the Ace Arnprior lottery license is #11994. You must be 18 years of age or older at the time of purchase. For gambling support, contact ConnexOntario.ca or call 1-866-531-2600.

The Arnprior Regional Health Foundation (ARHF) was founded in 2005 with a commitment to raise funds annually in support of the Arnprior Regional Health’s Hospital and Grove Nursing Home’s equipment needs, staff education and facility upgrades.  ARHF is currently focused on completing its Come Home to Great Care Campaign in support of the new and expanded Grove Nursing Home and the technology and equipment needs that ensure exceptional care can be accessed closer to home for more seniors in our community.
