What is the Health & Wealth Raffle?
A. The Health & Wealth Raffle is a fund raising event designed to generate substantial new revenues for St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center. It is not considered philanthropy in the traditional sense. Instead, the Raffle is a gaming event, using the entertainment and top-dollar prize format to attract dollars in support of the hospital. The revenue generated for St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center and its Barrow Neurological Institute by the Raffle supports patient care, education and medical research. Arizona’s Health & Wealth Raffle is the largest of its kind in the United States.
A. The Health & Wealth Raffle is an opportunity for the public to participate in generating new revenue for St. Joseph’s Hospital and its Barrow Neurological Institute by purchasing tickets that could win a prize. Net proceeds from the Raffle go toward patient care, medical education and/or research – in keeping with the Arizona legislation authorizing such a Raffle. You may have heard of the Health & Wealth Raffle called “Arizona’s Original Raffle.” That is because St. Joseph’s began this fund raising concept in Arizona in 2003, and it is now the longest established of its kind in the United States. The Health & Wealth Raffle is proud of this fact – and even prouder of the amazing things happening every day at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute as a result of the dollars generated by this project.
