The Health & Wealth Raffle The Health & Wealth Raffle, benefitting Barrow Neurological Institute and St. Joseph’s Hospital, is celebrating a decade of commitment to the health of Arizonans with bigger and better prizes, including $1 million in cash. This year, the raffle has more opportunities to win and a new prize category featuring once-in-a-lifetime experiences. “This 10th anniversary raffle is providing us with the opportunity to look back and see what we’ve accomplished over the last decade – and all the lives we’ve touched, thanks to raffle supporters,” said Terri Hoffman, Health & Wealth Raffle director. “The raffle is a unique fundraiser that lets everyone have a little bit of fun while helping raise much-needed funds for Barrow and St. Joseph’s.” Since its founding, the raffle has contributed more than $50 million to Barrow and St. Joseph’s. Thanks to the raffle, thousands of patients have had life-saving medical advancements at Barrow and St. Joseph’s. Valley resident Erik Humphrey is one of those patients. In 2003, Erik was diagnosed with a deadly brain tumor. Given a 20 per cent chance of beating the tumor, he agreed to participate in a trial for a new, aggressive treatment plan at Barrow. It’s been seven years since
