Heart & Stroke Calendar Lottery Fundraising Program Launches

Miratel has proudly provided the Heart & Stroke foundation of Ontario with fundraising services in support of their lottery fundraising programs for over 11 years.  From these lottery fundraising programs, the foundation has raised millions of dollars in support of research, promotion and advocacy in eliminating heart disease and stroke. The value of these dollars cannot be overstated as 1 Canadian dies from heart disease and stroke every 7 minutes and the diseases rank second and third respectively as the leading causes of death across the country.

As a result of the foundation and the money raised through its fundraising programs, significant strides have been made in improving the lives of millions of Canadians. The rates of heart disease and stroke have dropped from 70% between 1956- 2002 to 25% over the past 10 years.  Clearly their work is helping many to live healthier and happier lives, but there is still a long way to go before these life affecting diseases can be eradicated.

Since the foundation receives no operational funding from governmental sources, they rely on the generous donations from their loyal supporters along with funds from local and provincial fundraising events such as Ride for Heart, Jump Rope for Heart,  Hoops for Heart and many others. Another key fundraising initiative that has continued to grow and raise millions of dollars for their cause is their lottery programs.  The Foundation has been successfully running lottery fundraising programs for over 15 years in Ontario and has established itself as a leading presence in a competitive market by offering great prizes with exceptional chances of winning.

In 2010, they added a new, re-conceptualized lottery program to their already successful lottery fundraising strategies with the introduction of the Heart & Stroke Calendar lottery. The concept is simple, yet unique and economical making it accessible to most.

For $25 (or 3 for $70, or 6 for $125), supporters have the opportunity to win amazing cash prizes EVERY SINGLE DAY of the year, hence the name ‘Calendar Lottery’. As usual, a ticket number is assigned to each calendar ordered. As well, supporters can receive a beautifully designed calendar with each purchase. The official lottery calendar includes a breakdown of prizes being drawn each day, healthy advice and tips for better eating and lifestyle habits along with other helpful information.

The latest Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario Calendar Lottery program offers an amazing prize pool with more cash prizes available than ever before.  These include:

• 1 x $25,000 Early Bonus prize (order eligibility deadline November 10th)
• 1 x $250,000 Early Bird Prize (order eligibility deadline December 15th)
• 3 x $5,000 Daily prizes
• 1 x $10,000 Weekly prize
• 1 x $100,000 Monthly prize
• 1 x $25,000 Monthly Holiday Jackpot

Now that the Thanksgiving long weekend has past here in Canada, we’re reminded that the holidays are around the corner and the Heart and Stroke Calendar Lottery will make the perfect and affordable gift that anyone would love to receive. Not only is it one-size fits all, but the gift that keeps on giving also helps fund invaluable research that will improve lives and advance the mission of a cause that affects each and every one of us, one way or another.

Tickets can be purchased 24/7 via phone @ 1.888.514.7677 or 416.514.767. You can also submit your purchase order online or by mail. The 2010 calendar lottery campaign sold out in record time so buy early to avoid disappointment.

Please visit the official Heart & Stroke Foundation Calendar Lottery (license #4130) fundraising program website for more information.

Good luck to all supporters.
