Who we are
About the Foundation
A registered public foundation raising funds for Pembroke Regional Hospital since 2001 — because advanced care should live here in the valley, not two hours away.
Our mission
“The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation supports programs and services integral to the advancement of health care and the total well-being of the citizens of Pembroke and the surrounding communities by the raising, managing, and distributing of funds to the Pembroke Regional Hospital.”
Where raffle money goes
50% of every Catch the Ace ticket funds the highest-priority equipment needs at the hospital — recent purchases include 10 patient beds, 2 ultrasound machines, a Newborn Resuscitaire and a Maternal Fetal Monitor, with over $250,000 raised in the 2024–25 round alone. The other 50% funds the guaranteed weekly prize and the progressive jackpot. See Impact for the full picture.
