Congratulations to Austin Heyman, the Final Early Bird Winner Drawn in our Car4Cancer Lottery

The excitement continues to build as the Belleville General Hospital Foundation proudly announces the final Early Bird winner in this year’s record-breaking Car4Cancer Lottery, held in partnership with Peter Smith GM.

Congratulations to Austin Heyman of Trenton (Ticket: 99013339003), who has just won $2,500 in the final Early Bird draw before the main event on June 30 at 2:00PM, when one lucky ticket holder will drive away in a brand-new 2025 Chevy Corvette Stingray 3LT, valued at over $134,000!

“I’m absolutely thrilled! Supporting a cause as important as cancer care—and now winning $2,500—feels like the best kind of surprise,” said today’s winner. “It’s a win-win!”

And that sentiment is echoing far and wide. With ticket purchases exceeding $275,000, already!  With 18 days still to go, this year’s Car4Cancer Lottery has smashed all previous records, proving to be one of the most successful campaigns yet. The buzz is provincial, and the stakes are high—especially with the 50/50 bolt-on jackpot now nearing a $30,000 prize pool!

“Our community is passionate about saving lives—because cancer touches every single one of us,” said Steven Cook, Executive Director of BGHF. “We’ve seen that passion firsthand through our lottery, through the recent Kristin’s Camino, and through thousands of people stepping up to say, ‘We’re stronger together.’ This is more than a draw—it’s a movement.”

Car4Cancer is more than a chance to win—it’s a chance to make a real difference. Proceeds support Quinte Health Belleville General Hospital, the hub of critical regional services for over 160,000 people from Bancroft to Picton, Brighton to Nappanee. At the heart of these services is the Regional Level 3 Cancer Clinic, providing life-saving diagnostics, oncology drugs, and advanced equipment to those facing one of life’s toughest battles.

With 1 in 2 Ontarians expected to develop cancer in their lifetime, the urgency is real—and the community is responding.

As momentum surges toward the June 30th grand prize draw, we’re thrilled to share even more incredible news: A brand-new partnership with Lange & Fetter Ford in Trenton will launch in July—giving you the chance to win an iconic Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible!

“This new partnership continues our mission of turning stunning prizes into powerful progress in the fight against cancer,” added BGHF Board Chair Wayne Sheppard. “It’s an exciting new chapter—and another way we can win together.”
