The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary volunteers have donated more money to help Back the Build for a new hospital in Prince Edward County.
The Auxiliary presented the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation team with a cheque for $234,000, bringing the Auxiliary’s donations for the new hospital to $784,000.
This was their fourth pledge instalment to the new hospital campaign.
With $216,000 remaining on their $1 million pledge, the Auxiliary is confident they can fulfill this commitment within the 2021 year, despite having many of their fundraising activities halted due to COVID-19.
“The Auxiliary has an established history of fundraising in support of patient care at PECMH,” said Cathy Starkey, president of the PECMH Auxiliary. “Our volunteers and community members across Prince Edward County understand the importance of coming together and improving health care for the patients of the hospital. In spite of the hospital build taking more time, we’re continuing to give now to ensure the foundation has access to the funds as soon as they are needed. The project is moving forward and the Auxiliary intends to be there every step of the way.”
“We can’t thank our Auxiliary family enough for their generous $234,000 instalment to our Back the Build campaign,” said Shannon Coull executive director, PECMH Foundation. “When it comes to commitment and passion for our County hospital, the dedication from the members of our hospital’s volunteers is unmatched. Their pledge to help Back the Build is crucial to helping us meet our goal of $16.5 million.”
