The Renfrew County Real Estate Board has made a massive donation to the Pembroke Regional Hospital’s Cancer Care Campaign. $10,000 was raised during the RCREB’s annual golf tournament, which was held August 24th and had over 120 local realtors and guests. This year’s donation to the Foundation represents the third of five $10,000 contributions – all part of the boards $50,000 pledge to the campaign.
“We are so very thankful that the real estate professionals who are part of the Renfrew County Real Estate Board have chosen to give back to their regional hospital through their Annual Charity Golf Tournament. We thank them so much for their commitment of $50,000 towards the Cancer Care Campaign through a five-year pledge,” said PRHF Executive Director Roger Martin.
Mr. Martin added his thanks the realtors for giving back to the community year after year through other charities as well. “The RCREB and the realtors involved are truly making a difference in the community, one golf tournament at a time, and this time they are making a difference for many cancer patients who are going through their chemotherapy treatments by contributing to the many upgrades that are part of the Cancer Care Campaign. Thank you all so much and we look forward to your continued support,” he said.
The Cancer Care Campaign, which will soon reach its goal, will fund the expansion and upgrades to the Chemotherapy and Medical Daycare units as well as the inpatient Pharmacy at PRH. These updates will improve the lives of local cancer patients and their families, allowing them to have state-of-the-art cancer treatment right here close to home.
