The Townsend Smith Hospice Foundation (TSHF) has a new winner, but did they pull the ace of spades?

Events Coordinator for the Foundation, Mallory Crippen says the Catch the Ace contest is still going. Jennifer Schornagel-Jones pulled the nine of hearts on Friday.

This is now week 30 for the progressive raffle. Each week, a winner is given a card from a deck. They automatically win the weekly pot, but could win the jackpot if they pull the elusive ace of spades. With 52 cards in a deck, there are 23 still left to be picked.

Crippen says Schornagel-Jones is a big supporter of local businesses, especially over the last 16 months. It’s likely that her winnings will go there, as well as back in the draw for another chance to win the big one!

The jackpot is up to nearly $25,000, which Crippen says is HUGE!

The money raised by the TSHF is helping bring a hospice to North Halton. The Foundation feels the community would be better served by having palliative and respite care available in either Milton or Halton Hills.

The hospice might end up going in the recently announced Wilfrid Laurier University-Conestoga College joint campus, to be located off Tremaine Road by the Milton Velodrome. Learn all about that here.

This is the second go-around for the Townsend Smith Foundation and the weekly 50/50 draw. Some of the previous winners this year have been:
