Our Cause
More Than a Home
“Every year, the Full House Lottery captures our imagination with beautiful homes and life-changing prizes. But the true beauty of this lottery isn’t found in the design or the décor, it is found in the lives saved from the earliest moments of life through adulthood, because Albertans choose to buy a ticket. When you support Full House, you are directly supporting the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation and the University Hospital Foundation, and the world-class cardiac care they provide.”
The Power of Two: C.K. Hui and the Mazankowski
“The proceeds from this lottery are the lifeblood of two of Canada’s most prestigious heart centres working together to deliver cardiac care from early diagnosis to the most complex interventions.”
“These aren’t just hospitals, they are centres of hope. Whether cardiac care begins with early intervention or advances to complex surgery, the care provided is made possible through the community’s support through this lottery.”
“By uniting our two foundations, we are pooling our resources and our support through the Full House Lottery to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time, whether a patient needs the specialized interventional care of the C.K. Hui or the advanced, life-saving surgery at the Mazankowski, it is available.”
The Impact of a Ticket
“When you buy a Full House ticket, you are doing more than entering a draw. You are supporting cardiac care at every stage of life. You are:
~ Equipping our surgeons with the latest robotic technology.
~ Funding research that catches heart disease early, sometimes before symptoms ever appear.
~ Ensuring that when a crisis hits, the best cardiac teams in the country are ready to respond.
“We often talk about ‘dream homes’ during this lottery, but for a patient waiting for cardiac care, the ‘dream’ is simply to go home to their family and to live a full life beyond their diagnosis. Your support makes that dream a reality.”
“The support provided through Full House Lottery funds the future. It’s about supporting the researchers who are discovering new treatments, the clinicians who are perfecting minimally invasive surgeries, and the patients who rely on us throughout their lives for a second chance at life.”
A Call to Action
“When you support these foundations through the Full House Lottery, you are investing in a healthier Alberta. Because of our donors, the C.K. Hui and the Mazankowski are where miracles happen every day, from the earliest diagnoses to the most advanced life-saving procedures. Together, we are keeping more hearts beating and more families whole.”
“On behalf of the thousands of patients who walk through the doors of the C.K. Hui and the Mazankowski every year, thank you. Let’s make this the most successful Full House Lottery yet, because a healthy heart at every stage of life is the greatest prize of all.”
