It's the Kickstart Your Heart Campaign, in support of the Georgian Bay General Hospital Foundation.
This year’s goal is to raise $150,000 for the Laboratory Department at GBGH, or what we like to call, “the Heartbeat of the Hospital”!
Match Gifts:
We continue to be grateful for our amazing match donors since 2021, Conrad & Donna Huber, who have once again offered to match donations to Kickstart Your Heart up to a total of $25,000!
