The weekly Catch the Ace lottery that our community knows and loves will be continuing.
Huron Shores Hospice and the Tiverton & District Lions Club are pleased to announce they will continue the Catch the Ace draw. This popular lottery has brought excitement to players while helping raise over $600,000 for community projects and hospice care close to home. The official start date will be shared once we obtain approval for a licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).
“We are grateful for the strong community support that has made Catch the Ace such a success,” said Cathy Herbert, Executive Director at Huron Shores Hospice. “This lottery gives people a fun way to help families receive compassionate end-of-life care in our community and has gone a long way to funding the expansion of a third suite to ensure more families in our community are supported at end-of-life.”
Huron Shores Hospice and the Tiverton & District Lions Club would also like to sincerely thank the Kincardine Legion for their past partnership and support of Catch the Ace. We wish them every success in their future fundraising efforts.
The Catch the Ace draw will continue to use the online system provided by Rosewood Inc., an Ontario-based company. This helps ensure that funds raised stay in the community, supporting local care, local community projects and an Ontario based business.
“Proceeds from the Catch the Ace lottery made a real difference in our community,” said Hank Van Moorsel a Tiverton & District Lions Club member. “Thanks to ticket buyers, the Lions have been able to invest in projects that touch many lives, including $60,000 for a splash pad, $25,000 for an Autism Assist Dog for a local child, $22,800 for hospital beds in Kincardine, and $25,000 for the Lions Foundation Dog Guide School. Funds have also supported the refurbishment of the historic Masonic Building, Child ID kits, and Community Living Kincardine.”
These donations show why Catch the Ace matters — every ticket helps build a stronger, kinder community and supports people of all ages when they need it most. Kincardine Ace continues with the same website www.kincardineace.com but has a brand new Facebook page to follow at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587485900564, including the launch date and ticket information, which will be shared once the AGCO licence is approved.
Kincardine Ace is a partnership between Huron Shores Hospice and the Tiverton & District Lions Club.
