BUH foundation celebrates a successful fundraising year
The Battleford Union Hospital Foundation wrapped up a successful fundraising year. According to Board of Directors Chairperson, Roger Anderson, said events like the annual $100,000 lottery, the Festival of Trees and the Wayne Pruden Memorial Golf Tournament have all helped the hospital raise the money it needs to continue service.
“Each year the generous support purchases the most needed equipment and the 2015 focus was on the BUH’s Laboratory,” he said.
The foundation raised enough money to replace two out of date microphones to help the laboratory process 40,000 average, annual tests. The microphones will assist in the more expedient treatment and an accurate diagnosis of patients.
Over 12,348 tickets were sold during the annnual $100,000 dollar lottery to people all over the province, surpassing their $12,000 goal.
