Current Fundraising Needs

In 2018, we plan to put donations towards renovations for the tub room at the Ponoka Hospital and Care Centre. These renovations will provide patients with more privacy and comfort during their hospital stay. Due to the support of the Festival of Trees and the $125,500 donation in 2017, we are able to move forward with this major renovation which will cost approximately $200,000.

This year, proceeds will go to Space Lab Healthcare Qubes, three with mounts and two with roll stands with a total cost of $125,000. These space labs are life saving equipment that improve patient care and health outcomes. Photo courtesy of Ponoka News.
