After the chaotic retail days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, donors to the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation’s Tree of Life Appeal were tremendously generous on Giving Tuesday.
A total of 195 donations were made – online, by mail, by phone, and in person – more than double last year’s participation. Additionally, every challenge that was issued from community partners was reached, unlocking a combined $9,000 in matching donations from Lake Country Financial Group ($1,000), Kenora Optometry Clinic ($3,000) and Northern Hearing Inc. ($5,000).
Altogether on Tuesday, December 2, $36,970 was raised towards an overall goal of $60,000 to support the purchase of a video laryngoscope for the Emergency Department at Lake of the Woods District Hospital.
This year’s Tree of Life carries special meaning as the LWDH Foundation has been honouring its founder, the late Alice Jardine. Through the purchase of bulbs, donors have kept this cherished tradition alive, bringing our community together to honour, remember, and celebrate loved ones. Alice’s legacy continues to shine brightly in our community.
Donations towards the Tree of Life continue to be graciously accepted throughout the month of December.
