The Prince George Hospice Society is offering a sneak peek at its newest Dream Home, which will go to one lucky winner when the grand prize is drawn in December.
The Hospice Dream Home opens to the public for tours on July 17.
The 2021 home is once again built by North Nechako Homes and is located at 4047 Brink Drive in the Nechako View subdivision.
This year, the Hospice Dream Home comes almost completely furnished by Ashley Furniture, excluding the baby room, some decorations, TVs and the linens.
However, including the appliances and furniture, the total value for the home is over $800,000.
The west coast contemporary home has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, five brand-new appliances and is approximately 3,470 square feet in size.
The Prince George Hospice says the 2021 Dream Home Lottery is more important than ever for the organization.
“COVID has impacted all of us and Hospice has seen the need to expand all of our programs to meet the increasing need of our community,” said Donna Flood, Executive Director.
“This fundraiser is more important to us than ever, due to changes created by COVID-19, we truly hope that our caring northern communities will once again support Hospice, and help sell out our tickets.”
The Prince George Hospice Society will be selling 11,999 tickets at $100 each and the grand prize draw for the home will be held on Dec. 17 and 100 per cent of the money raised goes to support the society.
Over 65 companies provided materials, labour, and skills to build the home.
“We wanted to lead off with a sneak peak of the house,” said Flood, explaining Hospice will be sharing photos of the house each day in the lead up to the official opening on July 17.
“We wanted to get people excited that the house is here and the house is ready and they still have an opportunity to buy tickets.”
In addition to the dream home and four early bird prizes, there will be two 50/50 raffle draws this year with a chance to win up to $150,000 each.
Tickets are $25 each with the first 50/50 draw held on Sept. 17 and the second 50/50 held on the same night of the dream home draw.
Both Dream Home and 50/50 raffle tickets will be available for sale at the dream home, located at 4047 Brink Drive starting on July 17, but tickets are already available to purchase online.
The Dream Home will be open for ticket sales Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets will also be available starting on July 17 at the Prince George Hospice Society Office on 1506 Ferry Avenue as well as Canadian Tire from Thursday to Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
