How it works
When you purchase tickets during an active raffle, you’re entered for a chance to win 50% of the final jackpot. As more tickets are sold, the jackpot grows. At the close of each raffle, one winning ticket is drawn, and the remaining proceeds help fund Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s highest priority needs.
Why your support matters
Every ticket purchased helps create hope for people affected by a brain tumour. Funds raised through the raffle help:
- Advance innovative brain tumour research.
- Deliver support programs, educational resources, and information to patients, families, and caregivers.
- Strengthen advocacy efforts to improve care and quality of life.
- Ensure people across Canada can access trusted support, no matter where they live.
Together, we are helping ensure that no one in Canada faces a brain tumour alone.
