The Choice is Yours
with BC Children’s Hospital Choices Lottery
by Michelle Hopkins

Picture living in a stunning waterfront home with unobstructed ocean views. Then, imagine waking up every morning, opening the French doors and enjoying coffee while taking in sweeping views of Semiahmoo Bay. That’s what you can expect and more in the 2012 BC Children’s Hospital Choices Lottery Grand Prize Ocean View Beach Home in White Rock. Interior designer Deborah Heal of Sunrae Design decorated the 5,000 square foot fully furnished home. “It’s a warm, friendly and very livable family home with an upscale, contemporary country feel,” says Heal. “It’s a modern twist on the Cape Cod beach house.” This luxurious home is a beautiful blend of formal and casual indoor/outdoor living with warm woods, natural stone, a gourmet chef’s dream kitchen with stainless appliances, custom doors and windows. The Beach home is one of five impressive Grand Prize homes offered in the most exciting lottery in B.C.
However, there is another important reason to purchase tickets – our province’s sickest children. BC Children’s Hospital is the only hospital in the province with the critical expertise to meet the medical and emotional needs of children with complex conditions. Without the lifesaving and cutting edge research being conducted at BC Children’s, vulnerable children across the province would suffer, says Stephen Forgacs, Director of Communications, BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
In 10 years, Choices Lottery has raised close to $30 million for the hospital. “There’s no question our lottery ticket buyers have had an impact on the lives of thousands of children in B.C.,” says Forgacs.
The research conducted at Children’s has a direct impact on the lives of children in B.C. today, while contributing to global efforts to defeat childhood illnesses, including diabetes and cancer. “In fact, our researchers are able to leverage every dollar of funding they receive from the lottery into another five dollars from external granting organizations,” says Forgacs.
Our cancer researchers are working on targeted drug treatments that will be customized to individual children based on their genetic profiles.“This will mean more effective cancer treatments with fewer harmful side effects.” Last year, 7,900 children across B.C. required surgery at BC Children’s Hospital for potentially life threatening illness and injury.
Just imagine how buying a ticket would change the life of a child….
