2009 Street Bob & Sportster Raffle

Benefits the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. 08/22/09

Raffle Benefits

Two bikes are better than one! One of Thunder Bay’s most popular vehicle raffles, Motors & Muscles, is now twice as exciting. The 2009 Motors & Muscles raffle, in support of the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation, will award two Harley Davidson motorcycles.

“Raffle tickets make a perfect stocking stuffer,” says John Trevisanutto, Motors & Muscles Chair. (Just ask last year’s first-prize winner, Ryan Remenda. He found his winning ticking in his stocking last Christmas morning.) “Not only does the recipient receive excellent odds to win a Harley or other great prizes, but we all benefit from improved cardiac care,” adds Trevisanutto. 100% of the proceeds remain in Northwestern Ontario to support excellence in cardiac care through the purchase of medical equipment, technology, treatment programs and education and awareness.

On April 1, 2008, the Northern Cancer Research Foundation and the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation joined forces to become the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. The Health Sciences Foundation raises funds to support excellence in healthcare for the people of Northwestern Ontario. Your donations to the Health Sciences Foundation support new medical equipment, technology and treatment programs in virtually all areas of healthcare including paediatrics, renal, emergency and many others. Our goal is to ensure that the best possible healthcare will be available when you need it most.

When you donate to the Health Sciences Foundation, you can choose to direct your gift to the area of highest need, to one of our specialty funds: the Northern Cancer Fund, the Northern Cardiac Fund or the Health Sciences Discovery Fund, or to any specific area of care at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Each fund represents an area of high activity and high need in our community: In Northwestern Ontario, cancer and cardiac disease are responsible for the vast majority of deaths, while medical research is the single most significant area of growth and promise in our community.
