With less than 10 minutes to go, there was not an available pen or table in sight, as the Atrium overflowed
with excitement and anticipation for the second Heart Walk 50/50 Prize Drawing. As the countdown
advanced, employees raced to purchase tickets, with the hopes of bringing home the cash prize and
The competitive atmosphere meant only one thing; we needed an official individual to select the winning
ticket. Luckily, Sgt. Kenneth Powers was on deck to choose our prize drawing winner.
Huge congrats to Kristina Himel, Group Administration, our second 50/50 winner! Himel, who purchased
six tickets for $5, won $752.50, with the American Heart Association getting the other half of the pot.
Asked about her plans for the money, she said, It could not have come at a better time. My daughter is
getting braces this Wednesday, and Ill use this money toward the down payment.
When asked if she will buy tickets for our last 50/50 Prize Drawing, Himel said, Most definitely. So be
just like our winner and buy your tickets now for the final drawing set for March 13!
Community Relations is now selling tickets for the final drawing on March 13! Time is running out, so be
sure to head to the Atrium in the upcoming weeks to purchase your tickets. You do not want to miss out
on a chance to split a cash pot!
Remember, our goal at BCBSLA is to raise $50,000. YOU play a part in making a difference when you
join a team, buy a 50/50 ticket or donate! So sign up for a team and join the race!
