Smilezone Foundation is excited to announce a special 50/50 raffle taking place at the Hamilton Tiger-Cats game on Saturday, September 20 at 7:00pm, when the Ticats take on the Edmonton Elks at Hamilton Stadium. Fans and the broader community will have a chance to win big while helping brighten the lives of children in need.
Supporting Smilezone Spaces at HCFS
All proceeds from the raffle will directly benefit Hamilton Child and Family Supports (HCFS), specifically to help fund their recently unveiled ten new Smilezones, vibrant, purpose-designed spaces created to support children, youth, and families visiting HCFS. These Smilezones feature colourful murals, interactive and sensory elements, fresh paint, comfortable furniture, and custom cabinetry designed to create a fun, therapeutic environment that eases stressful visits and brings moments of joy and comfort to young visitors.

These Smilezones are true embodiments of that mission, and the funds raised through the raffle will help ensure these joyful spaces continue to serve HCFS visitors for years to come.
