Ways to Donate 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Remember to give Thanks today

Now the Thanksgiving weekend is here, you should take time to reflect on the things that you are most thankful for. That list almost always starts with family, friends, and loved ones. High on my list, I am thankful to have relatively good health.

 

I am very thankful that I live in a caring community where neighbours help neighbours and Friends support Friends. A community that cares for it's newborns and it's senior and everyone in between.

I am extremely thankful that Golden is fortunate enough to have the Golden & District Hospital and Durand Manor complete with compassionate and caring doctors and staff. What better way to thank those folk than to join the Friends of the Golden and District hospital and donate a gift to buy equipment that helps them help us.

The size of the gift, $50 or $1,000, is less important than the message it sends; "Thank you, we care".

This is the last day the online fundraising page, Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital 2023, is accepting donations.

Procrastinate no longer! Give Thanks today.

New milestone; $250,000

Last night the Friends of the Golden & District hospital surpassed a significant milestone. 

$250,000!

The Friends of the Golden & District Hospital raised over $50,000 from an online fundraising event in 2015 in memory of my wife and best friend, Frances and other families in Golden who had experienced loss of a loved one. 

There are many families that want to express thanks to our local hospital for one reason or another and this fundraiser allows them to do so in a tangible way and to show community support for the dedicated staff.

All of the funds raised are used to purchase equipment for our local hospital over and above their annual budget. These items truly make a big difference and have a huge impact on the scope and quality of the services provided by our small rural hospital.

Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital, the fundraising initiative which began in 2015, has become an annual event. This is the 9th annual event. Since the initial fundraiser in 2015, the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital have raised over $250,000.

The online fundraising page, Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital 2023, is accepting donations until Saturday October 7th 2023.You can donate online by clicking the link below or, if you would prefer to donate by cheque, call or email me and I will arrange to have the cheque picked up.

Many thanks to Meghan G

Thank you to all the doctors who support this fundraiser and specifically Meghan Guy who donated $1000 to help fund the purchase of this lab equipment. Their support illustrates how important it is to have a modern functioning lab at our small hospital.
