Representatives from the CKHA Helping Hands Auxiliary presented a cheque for $30,000 to the Foundation of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) recently in support of the $6.9 million CKHA Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Renewal Campaign.
To date, more than $4.1 million has been raised for this important campaign.
This generous donation from the CKHA Helping Hands Auxiliary was made possible through various fundraising initiatives coordinated by the Auxiliary throughout the year, including proceeds from the Boutique Grand Gift Shop.
“The Boutique Grand Gift Shop volunteers are proud to be able to make this contribution which will enhance the quality of health care provided to the Chatham-Kent community,” says Joan Dale, Chair, CKHA Helping Hands Auxiliary.
“With the continued support of the community we are looking forward to making further contributions to assist the Foundation of CKHA to reach the goal of this campaign.”
