Tuesday, Sept. 18 all three Discovery Co-op gas bars in the Battlefords, will be celebrating “Fuel Good” Day.
For every litre of fuel purchased that day, from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m., $0.06 will be donated to Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation.
BUH Foundation will be directing all proceeds from the day to their 2018-19 capital campaign, “We Want to … Catch it! Stop it! Treat it!” to raise over $500,000 to purchase a new mammography unit for BUH’s Medical Imaging Department.
A mammogram is the gold standard in detecting early breast cancers, in women and men, when they are most treatable and can help save lives, according to a BUH Foundation press release.
The current unit is 10 years old and needs to be replaced the foundation says.
“Medical technology has made advances and BUH Foundation and Discovery Co-op want to continue the tradition of embracing community wellness through enhanced healthcare in the Battlefords.”
