MONTREAL \u2013 The Montreal Canadiens announced Thursday their third special 50\/50 raffle of the 2025-26 season, a fundraiser that will benefit the Jewish General Hospital Foundation. The initiative will run for a week online and conclude live at the Bell Centre during the Canadiens-Islanders game on Thursday, February 26.<\/p>\n
The Jewish General Hospital Foundation\u2019s mission is to enhance excellence in patient care for the people of Quebec, further scientific discovery, recruit extraordinary healthcare professionals and acquire the most innovative equipment and technology for the Jewish General Hospital, a McGill University teaching hospital founded in 1934. In April 2024, it publicly launched a seven-year, $400M \u201cTomorrows Are Made Here\u201d philanthropic campaign with a focus on four pillar areas: Digital Health Initiatives, Groundbreaking Research, An Improved Patient Experience, and Building A Powerful Endowment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fortunate to have several world-class hospitals serving our fellow citizens in the greater Montreal community, and the Jewish General Hospital, named a Top 10 hospital in Canada by a Newsweek survey in 2025, is emblematic of that standard,\u201d said France Margaret B\u00e9langer, President, Groupe CH Sports and Entertainment. \u201cIn addition to having one of the busiest emergency rooms in the province, each year it helps deliver over 3,600 babies while continuing to advance the future of healthcare with one of the most influential research centers in the country. It\u2019s a privilege for us to help support this work and give our fans an easy way to contribute to the Foundation\u2019s ambitious, ongoing campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n
