The Belleville General Hospital Foundation(BGHF) is receiving $8,700 from McDonald’s Hospital Day held earlier this month.
On August 16, restaurants from Brighton to Gananoque and Madoc to Picton raised money for local hospital foundations with a cumulative total of $37,000 being raised.
In Belleville, a grand total of $8,744 was raised from the four local restaurants to support cancer care at BGH.
“We are incredibly grateful to McDonald’s owner / operator, Todd Shea, our volunteers and every customer who came out,” said Steve Cook, Executive Director, BGHF. “Cancer touches all of us, so support like this is critical to ensure BGH is here for you when you need us, with the very best care.”
Funds will help purchase priority equipment for one of the many departments at Belleville General Hospital that supports Cancer Care, including Advanced Diagnostics, Surgery, and the Dr. Douglas A. MacIntosh Cancer Clinic.
