Once again, Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is about to head into its ‘Light the Way’ campaign, a major fundraiser where funds raised help the local hospital maintain its equipment needs and helps to ensure close-to-home health care continues.
The Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation has partnered with the Power Workers Union (PWU) to bring a fun-filled evening at a “Return to Prom” gala, that will be kicking off the annual ‘Light the Way’ campaign this year.
“The Light the Way campaign is our biggest annual fundraiser so we thought it would be fun to kick things off this year with a community party. Our goal really is to get people to come out and have a great time while raising money for their local hospital. We are encouraging people to dress up however they like, whether it be old-school, retro from any decade or something more modern. We are really looking forward to seeing a variety of different kinds of outfits that night. We just want everyone to have lots of fun,” says Foundation Executive Director, Tracy Murray.
Linda Crombeen, Chief Steward, Sector 1-6 was on hand representing the Power Worker’s Union and said “The Power Workers’ Union is pleased to be able to provide support to the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation in their continued efforts to support our local Hospital. We value the work that they do to ensure that our members and their families are able to access quality healthcare here in our community.”
“Health care is one of the most important issues for families in our community and that’s why we’ve allocated such a significant portion of our annual community investment to partner with organizations like the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation to ensure we have the best health care possible,” said James Scongack, Bruce Power’s Executive Vice President Corporate Affairs and Operational Services. “Bruce Power takes its role as a major employer in the region seriously and we remain committed to doing our part to enhance our communities.”
