Radiothon Update!
December 13, 2022
With the end of 2022 approaching, we wanted to provide an update on the total raised from the CKNX Health Care Heroes Radiothon. Firstly, the Foundation would like to thank the community for their participation and generosity. What we do would not be possible without your continued support. So for that, we thank you!
On December 1, 2022, Ron Lavoie, Foundation Chair was invited to the Huron East/Seaforth Community Development Trust office to receive a cheque for $5,000 for the Foundation. This donation will be put towards our Radiothon campaign. Check out the photo below of Ron with Christie Little, Chairperson of the Huron East/Seaforth Community Development Trust!
This year our goal for the Radiothon was to fundraise $50,000 for a new ultrasound machine. At the time of writing this, our total raised is just over $39,000. We are so close to our goal and a new ultrasound machine for the Seaforth Community Hospital!
The Foundation would also like to extend our thanks to Wendy, Chair of the SCHF Radiothon Committee. Without Wendy’s dedication and knowledge of the event, this would not have been possible.
