The Kinsmen club of Kingston has once again donated proceeds from their Dream Home lottery to Kingston General Hospital. Last week Ryan Hanes, vice-president for the 2015 Kinsmen Dream Home Lottery announced that $115,000 from last year’s lottery would be going to support our most vulnerable patients. $105,000 will be going to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with the other $10,000 going to the Cancer Centre.

The Kinsmen also committed to donate $1 million to the NICU over the next several years.

“My oldest son spent his first two days in the NICU, so it’s a cause that is very dear to my heart,” says Hanes. “What a spectacular opportunity for the Dream Home to give back to the community, I don’t know that there is a more deserving or noble cause than the NICU in the city.”

The 2015 Dream Home built by Marque’s Homes is located in the neighbourhood of Westbrook Meadows. It is being valued at $540,000 by the builder. The lottery also includes cash prizes worth $10,000, $5,000 and ten $1,000 prizes. Tickets cost $150 and are now on sale in a number of locations around Kingston, including most of the major banks and the Kingston Community Credit Union.
