Bruce Power is making a $100,000 matching pledge for the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation CT Scanner campaign.
The foundation says the pledge is going to match the funds raised in this year’s Gran Fondo Lake Huron.
Foundation Board Chair Stacey Catalano says, “the Gran Fondo Lake Huron will be extra special this summer.”
This fundraising cycling event taking place later in August has a number of teams participating, each with fundraising goals ranging from $2,000 to $10,000, according to Race Roster.
The foundation says this event’s goal is to raise $250,000 for the campaign.
Foundation Executive Director Tracy Murray says they are grateful for Bruce Power’s support and their generous gift that will not only help inspire riders in this year’s event to fundraise but also encourage people in the community to register to ride or donate to a cyclist riding in the Gran Fondo this summer.
“Funds raised from this year’s Gran Fondo Lake Huron, presented by Bruce Power & Suppliers will go toward the CT scanner which is a vital project, not only for the people and businesses in Saugeen Shores but one that will benefit all of Bruce County,” says Murray.
This is the latest in the $3 million campaign launched in October, 2021 and has currently raised $2.4 million.
The foundation says the annual event sold out last time it was live in 2019 and had 1,000 cyclists taking part.
Bruce Power President and CEO Mike Rencheck says they have been a long-time supporter of the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation and is proud to support the campaign.
“This project is important to both the hospital and the community, and we encourage local organizations and community members to provide support where they can,” says Rencheck.
