We are proud of the staff support we receive at the VJH Foundation. They are an integral part of our connection to the community and we value their support. If you are an Interior Health employee, volunteer or physician interested in supporting the VJH Foundation, here are the opportunities available to you:
All staff from VJH and community and residential care staff from the surrounding areas are eligible to sign up for participation in the staff lottery.
Every two weeks, in between pay days, a 50/50 draw is held. To participate, send a completed application form to the Foundation Office. The cost is $5.00 per cheque or $130.00 for 26 pay periods. Employees must complete the application form attached. As stated by CRA rules, 50/50 payments are not eligible for a tax receipt. We currently have 203 participants which means if you win, the payout is usually around $500 and VJH Foundation has $500 to put towards equipment for the hospital! Please complete the following form and return it to the Foundation Office.
Monthly Giving
A monthly donation can add up to a substantial tax receipt by the end of the year. Staff have the option of giving through payroll deduction, automatic withdrawl from their bank account or credit card. Payroll deduction gifts are added to T4 slips. All other methods are issued an annual receipt after their final gift in December.
Casual for a Cause is a fundraiser that supports equipment needsfor Vernon Jubilee Hospital and Interior Health Facilities in the North Okanagan. $100 pays for a full year of Casual Fridays & buys you the opportunity to wear jeans 52 times! Your $100 donation can be paid by payroll deductions in small increments at $5 for 20 pays, $10 for 10 pays, $20 for 5 days or 1 payment of $100! You will receive a charitable tax benefit from participating and this will be noted on you T-4 slip at the end of the year.
We have several events throughout the year and volunteer support is vital. It is always a pleasure to have staff on board and we encourage you to visit our Special Events page and let us know what interests you.
