ARCH is pleased to announce that Eileen Falcioni has won $17,310 from the July 50/50 Grand Prize Draw with ticket number #A-5602075. She said, “as soon as I saw that ARCH was calling me, I had a feeling. I was so excited!” 

Falcioni buys each month and also gives ARCH 50/50 tickets as gifts throughout the year to her loved ones. We are so grateful for her ongoing support of Hospice. 

Falcioni’s connection to ARCH is her participation in drumming circles with volunteers in the past. She has performed and shared her talents and music with the residents in their final days. The purpose of a drumming circle is equality and sharing one rhythm in unison. This sense of unity and comradery is reminiscent of the support we receive from our community with our 50/50 draw. People helping people it’s what ARCH is all about, and Falcioni embodies that perfectly. 

Congratulations! We’re so grateful for you. 

“It is so nice to see a familiar face win our draw. It feels amazing to be able to help people who have continuously supported us. This is a story about paying it forward. ARCH is so thankful for all of the love from the community for our 50/50 Draw. Our residents and their families greatly benefit from your contributions,” shared Julie Premo, manager of training & coordination with ARCH.
