Canadiens Team Up With Jewish General Hospital for Historic 50/50 Raffle

The Montreal Canadiens have joined forces with the Jewish General Hospital Foundation for a unique 50/50 raffle. This event, part of the Canadiens' 2025-26 home season, aims to raise funds for the hospital's digital health projects and patient care. Tickets are now available online and at the Bell Centre.

The raffle is the third of four special draws organized by the Canadiens this season. It will run online for a week before concluding live at the Bell Centre on February 26, during the Canadiens-Islanders game. Fans can purchase tickets at jgh5050.com or in person at the arena.

Proceeds will support the Jewish General Hospital Foundation's seven-year, $400 million campaign, Tomorrows Are Made Here. This campaign focuses on four key areas: enhancing patient care, advancing research, acquiring state-of-the-art technology, and fostering scientific discovery. While no specific digital health projects from the last two years have been publicly detailed, the foundation aims to fund innovative tools and exceptional medical services.

The hospital, one of Canada's busiest, delivers over 3,600 babies each year and operates one of Quebec's most active emergency departments. In 2025, it was ranked among the country's Top 10 hospitals by Newsweek. Previous Canadiens raffles have backed organizations like True Patriot Love and the Old Brewery Mission.

The raffle's final draw will occur during the February 26 game. Funds raised will help the Jewish General Hospital adopt new digital technologies and maintain high standards of care. This initiative reflects the Canadiens' ongoing commitment to supporting local healthcare and community causes.
