Medicine Hat Health Foundation‘s fundraising campaign Driving Donations for Local Healthcare gives the city the chance to support local healthcare.

In partnership with Big M Ford, the campaign presents an opportunity to win a brand new 2025 Ford Escape SUV.

All money raised from the fundraiser goes back into the community and surrounding areas.

Raffle tickets are available through the MHHF, and the draw for the vehicle will take place Mar. 31.

Michelle Haukeness, events and community awareness coordinator for the MHHF, said that the campaign started three years ago.

She said that the Health Foundation needed a reason to be out in the community and let people know about the organization, so the campaign is a great way to connect.

The 2025 Ford Escape currently sits outside of the Medicine Hat Hospital‘s east entrance, and can also be viewed at Princess Auto on Saturday.

Haukeness said that everything the MHHF does touches someone’s family member or friend within the community, and programs running in the hospital.

“All fundraising stays local for our region for health care,” she said.

“We do all things like raise money for equipment and different programming within the Medicine Hat Hospital and in the Alberta Health Services building in that area.”

An early bird draw will happen on Feb. 28, for a $1500 gift card to Gas King fuel stations.
