On Wednesday, June 21, 2023, the Rotary Club of Huntsville made its first $25,000 donation of its $100,000 pledge to support and improve healthcare for patients in Muskoka and beyond.
“We are pleased to make this commitment to our hospital as it will help each person in the community,” said Rob Saunders, who has been an active member of Rotary for the past 22 years. “You never know when you or your family may need the hospital, and we are happy to support our hospital today and into the future,” added Saunders.
Annually, the club continues to invest in the healthcare of the community and has generously donated more than $360,000, which includes today’s pledge commitment. In addition to the Club’s annual support, other community organizations and service clubs are being asked to help.
“With our $100,000 commitment to the hospital, we hope others will join us by making a donation or pledge,” said Len Ross, Incoming President of the Rotary Club of Huntsville. “What do you say? Are you up for the challenge?” questioned Ross.
The Rotary Club of Huntsville has been a loyal supporter of the Huntsville Hospital Foundation since 1988.
“The generous $100,000 pledge from Rotary will help purchase urgently needed medical equipment. As our community continues to grow, so does the need for our hospital,” said Foundation CEO, Katherine Craine. “We’re thankful for the decades of support from Rotary and appreciate the Club’s continued investment in our hospital,” she added.
