HUNTSVILLE, ON-A $1 million donation has been given to the Huntsville Hospital Foundation by the Dani Reiss Family Foundation.
Executive Director of the Huntsville Hospital Foundation Katherine Craine said that this donation will go towards purchasing and supporting the need for advanced technology in their hospital which helps medical professionals save lives.
President and CEO of Canada Goose (a clothing Brand), Dani Reiss said that he strongly believes in giving back to the community as he enjoyed many years coming to the Huntsville and Lake of Bays area as a child. The organization has also donated gowns and other protective equipment to support the hospital during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“As a teaching hospital for doctors and nurses who are looking to apply their skills to Northern Canada, Huntsville Hospital is known as a gateway to the north and is a community that has long held a personal connection for me. We hope that this gift will inspire others to give,” said Reiss.
Craine said that the technology and tools their doctors use to improve treatment and save lives in the Huntsville area evolve every year. “That means the need is renewed every year and that makes every gift critical. The Reiss Family Foundation made its donation intention known earlier this year, before the COVID-19 pandemic. We had hoped to thank them in person – but that will have to wait for better times ahead.”
The Foundation’s various fund-raising programs are focused on generating the money needed to equip their hospital with advanced technology and equipment that are not covered by provincial taxes. If you are interested in donating to the foundation, you can go to their site here.
