Your Decision CAN Make a Difference!

Your Decision CAN Make a Difference!

Saskatoon, March 1, 2013 - In the overall scheme of things deciding whether or not to purchase a raffle ticket may not seem like a very important decision but it really is! Especially for the hundreds of thousands of people in our province that are affected by lung disease. On a daily basis they rely on The Lung Association of Saskatchewan and the education, programs, support groups, and cutting-edge research that we provide or facilitate.

Tickets officially go on sale today for the 2013 Share The Air Raffle (Lottery License #LR12-0084). Purchasing your tickets will not only help people to breathe easier but will also give you a chance to win the grand prize of up to $121,750 in tax-free cash! Win the second prize and attend a hot air balloon festival in Switzerland. If you have a different vacation spot in mind, choose your own destination or take a $10,000 cash pay-out instead. Win a SaskEnergy Network Member gift certificate ($3,500, $1,500, or $1,000) redeemable for the purchase of natural gas equipment and/or services at any SaskEnergy Network Member location in Saskatchewan.

"Over the years, the Share The Air Raffle has become a major source of funds that enables us to continue our important work of improving lung health," says The Lung Association of Saskatchewan's President and CEO, Brian Graham. "We are so grateful to SaskEnergy for their continued sponsorship of this fundraising initiative. It is a natural partnership because we are both striving towards a healthier environment," he adds.

"At SaskEnergy we care about the health of our environment," said Leslie Gosselin, Manager of Advertising and Community Relations, SaskEnergy. "Even though natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel, we encourage all our customers to find ways to reduce their consumption. We are pleased to partner with our SaskEnergy Network Members and The Lung Association of Saskatchewan to promote cleaner air so that everyone benefits."
