A major donation from a local business has pushed the Hearthstone Community Campaign a step closer to their goal.
The Estevan branch of MNP announced last week it would be donating $100,000 toward the construction of a new nursing home in the city. MNP partners Byron Mack, Dave Hammermeister, Patrick Dupuis and Rick Seipp presented Hearthstone chairman Vern Buck with the company's generous contribution Friday night during the second intermission of the Estevan Bruins game against the Humboldt Broncos.
"We are truly grateful for this donation, however, more importantly; we believe that the community is nearing its fundraising goal," said Buck. "We are $100,000 closer to a state-of-the-art long term care home for the elders of Estevan."
"MNP is a strong supporter of our community in Saskatchewan and across the country. As an employer of choice, we believe that it's important to support our profession and giving back to the community is just our way of living out the MNP values," added Seipp who is also a member of the Hearthstone committee.
"We truly believe that it's important to lead a balanced life with our focus on family first. Elderly care is an issue that we can all relate to at some point in our lives."
