Support world-leading researchers in their quest to conquer childhood illness

As the province’s only hospital dedicated to children and youth, BC Children’s Hospital provides a level of specialized care for children that can’t be found anywhere else in BC. For these patients facing the most serious and complex conditions, the future of their care lies in research.

Research is what will enable experts here to transcend beyond today’s status quo and to pursue answers to the biggest questions that still remain in child health. Your Dream Lottery tickets will make it possible for our world-leading researchers to do exactly that.

From opening the door to novel therapies for conditions like childhood cancer or rare diseases, to discovering life-changing breakthroughs in the way experts deliver care or perform surgeries, your generosity will bring new hope to children and families who need it most.

Thank you for your ticket purchases, and for supporting BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Approximately 138,000 kids visit BC Children’s Hospital every year for specialized pediatric care.

Discoveries made here impact the lives of children across the province and around the world.

“Cancer surgery, organ transplants, hip and knee replacements and so much more: these medical needs didn’t pause when the pandemic hit. People from across BC count on the specialized care that our frontline heroes provide at VGH, UBC Hospital and GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre. COVID-19 has brought many new challenges for our healthcare teams, but with support from British Columbians our researchers and medical teams, who treat patients from across B.C., have done a tremendous job looking after the patients in their care. Lotteries have provided funds to equip our world-class health care teams with the tools and technology they need to provide the best care possible. On behalf of the Foundation, thank you to everyone who supports the Hometown Heroes Lottery.”

“Over the past year, all of our fundraising events were cancelled due to the pandemic. For this reason, funds raised by the Hometown Heroes Lottery are extremely important; they go towards our burn prevention programs, vital survivor services, and enhanced care for burn survivors. These programs and services help burn and trauma survivors recover both physically and emotionally. The Burn Fund can only do this because of the extreme generosity of British Columbians.”
