The funds were largely raised through events such as the Auxiliary’s Annual Polar Plunge, the Rotary Spring Fling, Sharpe’s Tapes, Rotary Club Diners & Duffers Value Books and the Christmas Market.

“These past 2 years have been challenging from a fundraising perspective,” said Auxiliary Co-President Robbie Beatty. “We have had to change the way we run events and come up with creative ways of engaging the public. I am so proud of our volunteers and our community who step up time and again to support our local hospital.”

Funds raised in the past year will help CMH purchase additional stretchers as well as contribute to the cost of implementing the new Clinical Information System that came online in December 2021. 

 In May the Auxiliary will be launching their 2022 fundraising campaign with the goal of purchasing a new defibrillator for the hospital.
