JEVI Lottery

Every action counts and, as a result, every ticket purchased contributes to establishing a safety net for those people around us who most need it.

The JEVI Lottery – a way of working together

April, May, and June are crucial times for JEVI services. During these months, your contribution to the JEVI Lottery, our annual major fundraising campaign, allows us to retain nearly a third of the intervention team.

In the Eastern Townships, more than one person a week commits suicide, which means that JEVI needs to have the resources to implement as many actions as possible to prevent tragedies of this kind. That’s why the JEVI Lottery is so important. Your donations make a real difference in hundreds of people’s lives.

No matter what the background is or the causes of despair, suicide prevention needs to remain a priority in our society. As well as contributing to this cause, people who buy a ticket have a chance of winning some fantastic prizes!

Why participate in the JEVI Lottery?

We

JEVI provides resources in the Eastern Townships to prevent suicide and support suicidal persons and their families, individuals who have lost loved ones to suicide, and the counsellors who work with them.

Can

Thanks to your donations and participation in this fundraising activity, JEVI can maintain our essential services. It would not be possible for us to maintain our current services without your support.

Save Lives

We lose approximately 50 people per year to suicide across the seven regional county municipalities served by JEVI. That’s eight times more than the number of traffic accident-related deaths in the Eastern Townships.

2025 Lottery – 40th edition

Objective

$ 0

With respect and commitment, I invite you today to join me in participating in the 2025 edition of the JEVI Lottery.

Suicide prevention is a cause that is especially close to my heart. We all know someone, whether near or far, who is suffering in silence. In today’s climate of uncertainty, now more than ever, it is essential to remember the importance of listening to others and starting the conversation.
