Casino gives support to Festival of Trees
Thursday was a good day for the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation when a local North Battleford business supporter once agan stepped up with a big donation.
Gold Eagle Casino donated $10,000 as a diamond sponsor for this year’s BUH Foundation Festival of Trees fundraiser.
”I think this is a very needed event in the Battlefords, to raise funds for the hospital foundation,” Atcheynum said. “I feel honoured to be part of this event. I think health services benefits everyone within our community. It’s very well needed within our area.”
The foundation’s executive director Claudette McGuire thanked the casino and said this year’s support is its ninth year in a row, for a grand total of $90,000. McGuire added this year the foundation hopes to raise from between $20,000 to $25,000.
