We’re big fans of what the BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF) is all about: giving support to hospitality and tourism workers with serious health conditions who are in need. Which is why we’re letting you know that their annual ‘Spirit of Hospitality’ Lottery is now in full swing.

All proceeds from raffle ticket sales will directly support the BCHF in doing what they do, helping out folks working across BC. The goal: to raise $60,000. The six-week-long lottery features more than $31,000 in prizes, including a dozen lux BC and global vacation packages – from city escapes to mountain adventures; accommodations, gourmet dining, and unique experiences all included.

Tickets may be purchased singly or in packages, as follows: 1 for $5; 3 for $10; 7 for $20; 20 for $50. We don’t need to reiterate that every ticket purchased not only gives you a chance to win but also makes a meaningful difference in the life of a worker in need (but we did, anyways). Get in on the action by buying your raffle tickets here. Get the full rundown on the rollout and all of the incredible prizes up-for-grabs below:
