Mitchell District High School donates $700 to the Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation

June 29, 2023

The Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation is very grateful to receive a donation in the amount of $700 from Mitchell District High School.

In May, the Leadership class at Mitchell District High School hosted a charity basketball game between staff/students and the Ontario Provincial Police. The students were responsible for organizing the game and other activities that day.

“This was a wonderful student lead initiative,” noted Ron Lavoie, Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation Chair. “The Foundation is honoured to be one of the recipients receiving funds from this event.”

Carly McLeod, teacher of the Leadership class, could not be more proud of her students. “They did a great job organizing this event! They showed great leadership and community involvement.”

The donation will be used towards equipment to enhance patient care at the Seaforth Community Hospital.

“Once again, appreciation is extended to the students of the leadership class and Ms. McLeod for their efforts,” adds Lavoie.
