Care close to home, funded by our community
Every ticket in the LWDHF 50/50 raffle buys medical equipment for Lake of the Woods District Hospital in Kenora — and gives you a chance at half of all sales.
Estimated — guaranteed minimum $5,000; when ticket sales exceed $10,000 the prize is half of all sales, and the amount grows with sales

Give directly to the hospital fund
A donation is different from a raffle ticket: donations are eligible for a Canada Revenue Agency tax receipt, and every dollar goes to capital medical equipment for Lake of the Woods District Hospital.
Buying a raffle ticket does not generate a tax receipt. Lottery ticket purchases are not gifts under Canadian tax rules.
