An important fundraiser for the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation was once again a big success this year.
The annual Radiothon for Life, held Wednesday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., raised $101,040 for the new addictions treatment centre in Estevan.
The fundraiser ran from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. People called in their pledges, made donations online through the hospital foundation’s website and dropped them off at the radio station’s parking lot. Businesses and organizations also made donations as part of the campaign.
The fundraiser couldn’t be held at the hospital this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The event also put the spotlight on the hospital, its staff, its services and patients who receive care at St. Joseph’s throughout the year.
The next edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
