A $15,000 donation was presented May 15 by members of the Royal Canadian Legion Kemptville Branch 212, from the Ontario Command Branches and Ladies Auxiliary Charitable Foundation. This gift is intended for the purchase of OR Syringe Pumps which administer medication in the OR at a steady rate over a long period of time. In December 2023, the Foundation had also received a $2,500 donation from Legion Branch 212 for the CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign, the proceeds from their Poppy Campaign. The KDH Foundation is very grateful for the enduring support from the Legion!

On May 9, 2024, the Foundation was invited to a cheque presentation at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre in Ottawa.

The KDH Foundation recently had a banner day with two donations to the CT Scanner Crossroads Campaign.

The first donation of the day was from Debra Amirault who dropped off two cheques in memory of her late mother. She remarked that the nurses at KDH were wonderful and so very thoughtful of her and her mother which was greatly appreciated, especially during that difficult time. She explained that her late mother had fallen a few times and had to go into Ottawa for a head scan to rule out a brain bleed or fracture. She said, “It will be huge to have the CT right here, in Kemptville!”

All proceeds from the July 1 event will go towards the CT Scanner, including the 50/50 draw. Doors open at noon and the fun gets underway at 1:00 pm and continues until 3:00 pm. Refreshments will be available at the canteen.

The second community donation to the Crossroads Campaign on May 2 was from the Kemptville Duplicate Bridge Club. This was the second year in a row the club has generously presented $1,000 to the Foundation. Present to gratefully receive the cheque from the club’s president, Liz Robinson, was Margret Norenberg, KDH Foundation Chair and Joanne Mavis, KDH Foundation ED.

Every donation brings us a step closer to the Campaign goal of $2.2 million and having a CT Scanner in the Kemptville District Hospital. Its impact will mean better, faster and urgent care for patients.
