White Rock, BC -- Canadian Tire South Point has selected Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation as its charity of choice. To date its fundraising efforts have helped secure close to $5,000 to benefit the Foundation and its goal to enhance health and wellness in our community. Over the past several months the store has been collecting donated Canadian Tire monies with a donation box at their South Point location, providing customers with the opportunity to donate their Canadian Tire money to charity. The store also held a special holiday campaign in December where it sold over 2,500 gift bags, with the proceeds benefiting the hospital Foundation.

Moby Dick Seafood Restaurant on Marine Drive in White Rock has been giving back to Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation for the past 10 years! The restaurant donates 5 per cent of one month’s revenue to support Peace Arch Hospital Foundation. This year, the restaurant raised a record $1,793! Look for this tasty fundraiser to return in March 2011. 

Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation has received a $21,000 gift from the Delta Controls and ESC Automation 2010 Charity Golf Tournament held on July 8th at Hazelmere Golf and Tennis Club.  This was a record-breaking year for this annual fundraising event, which since 2001 has raised more than $110,000 in support of the Hospital Foundation.

Phase one of the community-funded, new maternity ward at Peace Arch Hospital has been completed on time and on budget. Beds and equipment are being moved in over the next few days, with deliveries expected to begin in the new birthing rooms early next week. Phase one of this $5.3-million project includes four of eight single-family birthing rooms and the Thrifty Foods education room. The remaining four birthing rooms and the balance of the ward are scheduled to open in December 2010.  

Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation is pleased to announce a donation of $250,000 from the membership of the Rotary Club of White Rock.  The funds are being directed to the Centre for Active Living, one of five priority projects within the Foundation’s $32 million Partners in Caring Campaign.
