KAWARTHA LAKES-Members of the Kawartha ATV Association (KATVA) recently made a donation to the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation.
For four years, KATVA has turned its annual Poker Run event into a fundraiser for the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation, supporting medical equipment and technology needs throughout the Hospital.
On Saturday, June 3, the Poker Run attracted more than 200 participants with 25 volunteers supporting the ride, the silent auction, draws and dinner. Today, KATVA representatives Carolyn Richards, Jesse Wright and Carolyn LaPorte visited the Ross to present their latest gift — a cheque for $10,000 — to help fund the Hospital’s new fleet of IV pumps and priority needs in the Operating Room. This gift brings KATVA’s cumulative giving total to $50,500.
“It’s wonderful to see the passion KATVA members have for their trail activities, and it’s very clear that they are equally passionate supporters of patient care at the Ross,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Thanks to their enthusiasm and energy, their fundraising efforts have reached a new level of giving on our Donor Recognition Wall. We’re thrilled to feature the KATVA plaque among our Patron donors where they will inspire others to support causes they care about.”
