The most wonderful time of the year
Christmas is a time we reflect and think about the past year, and about the blessings in our life.
It is a time to think about what is important, and maybe even how we can help make our part of the world a better place. Perhaps that’s deciding to volunteer, helping someone in need or making a donation that you know will help other people.
Your local Health Foundation continues to fund the purchase of vital medical equipment, as well provide funding for staff to take special training to work in hard-to-recruit areas in our hospital.
During this holiday season -- a time filled with gratitude, hope and the joy of giving -- think about the difference you might make in someone’s life, and make a special holiday donation.
Please give generously. Only you know what you can afford to give, but if you are able, today is the time to make your donation.
Charity Road Race raises over $20,000 for ECG
A total of 170 registered runners and walkers participated in the Charity Road Race on Sunday, August 20.
"Every year we set goals for the year, and we successfully met our goals this year," Health Foundation Executive Director Ross Fisher noted. Those goals were:
- To provide an opportunity for people to introduce a little fitness into their lives by putting on free running clinics from May to August;
- To hold a fun and well organized Charity Road Race that everyone from the beginning runner to the competitive runner can participate in; and,
- To raise funds for the purchase of medical equipment that will provide an improved or new service to the residents of this region.
This year the funds raised will assist the purchase of an echocardiogram for the Yorkton Regional Hospital.
The top fundraiser was Geoff Propp, left, who raised $10,002.55. He is thanked by Ross Fisher.
