With the new hospital in the background, Sea & Ski Realty Ltd. proudly presented a cheque of over $38,000 to the Centre Grey Hospital Foundation.
An annual fundraiser, organized by Sea & Ski Realty surpassed its $30,000 goal recently. These funds were generated from the third annual Hospital Fundraising Golf Tournament which was hosted on Friday, July 15 at the Highland Glen Golf Course in Grey Highlands.
Karen Cox, the owner and Broker of Record of Sea and Ski, said the day exceeded her expectations and is ecstatic Sea and Ski can support our local hospital.
"Our goal was to raise $30,000 and we raised $38,229.65," she says. "If we want a community hospital we all need to support it and we figured we could do our part by running the golf tournament.”
The Centre Grey Hospital helps numerous people throughout the area providing services such as 24-hour emergency care, acute hospital care, palliative care, diagnostic imaging, physiotherapy, and laboratory services. The Centre Grey Hospital Foundation relies on donations from the community to raise $1,000,000 each year to ensure the hospital has what it needs to function efficiently.
Darlene Lamberti, the Foundation Coordinator for Centre Grey Health Services, said the event had a fantastic turnout and that she was delighted, not only with the amount raised, but also with the strong support that the community showed to local healthcare.
"A strong community hospital is only possible with community support, and we are so grateful for yours," Lamberti said.
Sea and Ski took the opportunity to thank their fellow event sponsors: Highland Glen Golf Course, Westmount Storefront Systems, Markdale IDA, BIRD Construction, BMO Nesbitt Burns, Devonleigh Homes Inc., Beaver Valley Ski Club, Highland Fuels & Supply, our hole sponsors: The Co-operators Miles Insurance & Investments Inc., Johnson & Schwass Professional Corporation, Sleeman Brewery, Grey Northern Powerline Inc. and Brian Hiltz & Family. Without all of their support, the event would not have been the success that it was.
The team behind the third annual Hospital Fundraising Golf Tournament was happy to support the work Centre Grey Hospital does for the community and looks forward to hosting this great community event again next year on July 14 at Highland Glen Golf Course.
At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
