“Congratulations Norma! You’ll be enjoying this summer in style with your incredible prize.” said Steve Cook, Executive Director, Belleville General Hospital Foundation. “And a heartfelt thank you to every ticket buyer.

Your support will make care even better for every cancer patient in our community.”

When contacted with the good news Norma shared “I’m very excited. I’ve supported the hospital for a long time, so when I saw this chance to do that in a new way, I bought some tickets right away.”

Cook went on to say, “I want to also thank our incredible partners at Carl Cox RV, without whom this initiative would not be possible. Jeff, Lori, Catharine, and the entire team are 100% behind their local hospital, and I’m honoured to have their support.”

A special element of today’s draw was the winning ticket was picked by Catharine Cox’s grandfather and cancer survivor, James Terry.
