WDMH FOUNDATION LAUNCHES JUST DOWN THE ROAD – CLOSE TO HOME PUBLIC CAMPAIGN

May 17, 2010 --- It was all hands on deck as the Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) Foundation launched the next phase of its $5 million campaign at its annual gala at Winchester Arena. The campaign focuses on the excellent care that is provided just down the road at Winchester District Memorial Hospital.

 

“The cruise theme is perfect for our launch because we want a full crew helping us with this campaign,” notes Doug Grenkie, Campaign Chair. “As a proud new grandfather of a WDMH baby, I am also proud to steer the ship for this campaign that will allow the hospital to maintain and enhance vital services and programs, now and for our future generations.” At the gala, Doug announced that the campaign total now stands at $2,250,000.00 thanks to the generous support of donors in the local communities, service clubs and corporate donors.

Doug Grenkie was joined by Ottawa Senator Matt Carkner, who will serve as Honourary Chair of the campaign. “Throughout my life, Winchester District Memorial Hospital has been there to provide me and my family with excellent care,” Matt says.

“My brother, sister and I were all born at the hospital. When I needed the Emergency Department, it was always there with fast and friendly care. I want to be sure the wonderful staff here have all the tools they need to continue to provide the very best care.”

A highlight of the evening was a major $50,000 donation presented by Peter Remillard on behalf of an anonymous donor.

The evening was topped off with a fabulous performance by Eric DeGray. Eric serves as cruise director with the Seabourn Cruise Line but came home to sing, dance and tell entertaining stories for an appreiciative local audience.

The public awareness campaign will kick off over the next few weeks with posters in local businesses and offices, banners in local area banks and media promotion. The campaign material will feature testimonials from local community members, patients, service clubs and WDMH staff, highlighting the care they have received – just down the road.
