We are celebrating our 50th anniversary by
giving away $50,000 to support the health
and wellness of Manitobans!

For 50 days, we are granting 50 wellness wishes – gifting $1,000 a day to a Manitoban with an idea to improve their own wellness or the wellness of their community. 

The giveaway is run on Instagram only and legal residents of Manitoba who are age 18 or over can enter. Here’s how:

  1. Follow @mbbluecross on Instagram
  1. Share a short video/reel on your own Instagram feed of your wellness wish – explain how you would use $1,000 toward a wellness initiative that helps you, a friend or your community. You must tag @mbbluecross or use #50DaysOfWellnessMBC to be entered.  

All entries that meet our requirements will be entered into our random daily draw. Winners will be contacted via DM on Instagram. There is only one entry allowed per person for the full giveaway, but entrants who have not yet won will remain in the pool and be eligible for each daily draw. Please note that if your Instagram account is private, we will be unable to see your video and it will not be entered into the giveaway. To officially enter, you must either make your account public for the duration of the giveaway or DM us your video privately.

FAQ

What is wellness?

Wellness means taking care of yourself in different ways to ensure you are happy and healthy. It encompasses your physical, emotional, occupational, financial, social and intellectual well-being. It involves intentions, choices and actions that can lead to a more balanced and meaningful life.

What counts as a wellness wish and how can the $1,000 be used?

A wellness wish can be anything that supports personal or community wellness or benefits someone deserving in the entrant's life.  The $1,000 must be used within 3 months to achieve the wish and must not be a small contribution toward a larger amount.
