The official draw ceremony for the 2017 Share The Air Raffle took place on Friday, June 9, 2017 at SaskEnergy’s Corporate Offices in Regina. Congratulations to Germain Dauk of Naicam who is the grand prize winners of $48,915 in tax-free cash. When asked why he supports The Lung Association, Saskatchewan and the Share The Air Raffle, Germain responded, “I support The Lung Association, Saskatchewan because my mother passed away from lung disease when I was just 11 years old and I myself have experienced shortness of breath.”
All 83 prizes, including gift cards, cash, and electronics prizes were also drawn. Winners’ names will be posted on The Lung Association, Saskatchewan website at raffle.sk.lung.ca and published in the Regina Leader-Post and the Saskatoon StarPhoenix on Saturday, June 17.

On average we breathe over 22,000 times a day and 90% of our time is spent indoors.
