Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation has announced it is honoured to receive support from long-time North Battleford resident Leola Macdonald for the upcoming On Air for Healthcare Radio-thon fundraiser.
“This community has been my life; I was born here at Notre Dame Hospital, as it was called then, I grew up here, met and married my husband here and raised our five children here. This is my community and I wanted to do my little bit to help … and I think others should too,” stated Macdonald when she presented her cheque for $1,000 to BUH Foundation. “We need to keep our community healthy and vibrant.”
The On Air for Healthcare Radio-thon will be held on Friday, May 12 with Q98, CJNB and 93.3 The Rock broadcasting live from the lobby at BUH. If you wish to donate please call 306-446-6652, go online at www.buhfoundation.com or come down to BUH.
BUH Foundation has also received support from North Battleford and Battleford Agencies charitable giving. Their $2,500 contribution will also support the foundation’s upcoming On Air for Healthcare Radio-thon.
As recipients of Saskatchewan Mutual Insurance Company’s (SMI) charitable giving program, North Battleford and Battleford Agencies selected two charitable organizations to which to contribute a total of $5,000. In order to qualify for SMI’s charitable giving program, North Battleford and Battleford Agencies had to meet specific performance requirements within their organization. They were successful at this and were among the top 10 SMI brokers within, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba who received this award.
“Congratulations to North Battleford and Battleford Agencies on achieving this success. You are to be commended for your efforts and we thank you for choosing BUH Foundation as a recipient of your donation. Having an ENT specialist in our community is a important component in enhancing healthcare for The Battlefords and surrounding communities,” said BUH Foundation Board of Directors Chairperson Mike Zaychkowsky.
Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation has also been pleased to receive a donation of $1,000 from the Meota Lakeshore Lions Club for the radiothon.
“Meota Lakeshore Lions Club is proud to give back and support healthcare in our community. It’s an area of life that affects everyone and we are pleased to be able to help make a difference,” stated Lawrie Ward, club president.
“BUH Foundation is very grateful to receive this contribution from Meota Lakeshore Lions Club. They are a club recognizing the difference community involvement makes to improve our world and make it a better place, and we are pleased they chose to do that for Every Little Bit Counts capital campaign. This will bring us closer to our goal,” said Claudette McGuire, executive director, of the BUH Foundation.
