Pembroke – Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation announced that BMO Financial Group contributed a $10,000 Gift of Humanity towards the Foundation’s annual Black and White Gala. The contribution will support surgical care and orthopaedic advancements in Renfrew County.

Now in its 13th year, the annual black tie event, which took place on Saturday, October 13th, has raised over $1.24 million to-date to help advance local health care services at the Pembroke Regional Hospital.

PRHF Board Chair, Lisa Edmonds, spoke of the impact that BMO has made at the Hospital: “BMO’s role in the improvement of our Regional Hospital has been tremendous. Their support over the years helped enable the purchase of a new CT in 2002, the Hospital’s building expansion in 2004, purchase of the Regional MRI and now they are investing in the Orthopaedic Program and in the improvement of our Surgical Floor.”

“Giving back to the communities that we work in and are a part of is an important priority for BMO,” said Layla Darwish, Vice President of Business Banking at BMO Bank of Montreal. “Supporting the Black and White Gala will help the Pembroke Regional Hospital continue delivering quality health care services to the families of Renfrew County for years to come.”

BMO has been supporting the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation for over seventeen years.

The sold-out Starlit Night-themed Gala was held at the Normandy Officer’s Mess at Garrison Petawawa. Over 225 attendees enjoyed a delicious 4-course meal, catered by Ullrich’s, followed by a splendid evening of dancing to live music.

Commenting on their tradition of giving, Lisa Edmonds, CEO of EGM Insurance, said, “A core belief that drives the whole EGM team to give back is that giving back makes our community a better place for families to raise their kids, for businesses to thrive, and for our elderly to retire with comfort and dignity. Our EGM family firmly believes that we all benefit from supporting local access to medical services and treatments like MRI, cancer treatments, dialysis, and orthopaedics.”

(Pembroke) For the entire month of June, Zumba lovers, Colleen Gauthier and Dan Connor collected donations at their Monday night drop-in Zumba classes. The dancing duo raised over $325 and donated the total to the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation’s Cutting Edge Campaign.

Remarking on their motivation to host charity classes, Ms. Gauthier said, “We asked participants to bring charity suggestions forward, and attendee Lynn Denault proposed supporting our Hospital’s programs.”

“As we desire to support the health and wellbeing of our community and help our class members get energized and physically active through Zumba, dedicating voluntary donations towards raising funds for our Hospital for a month was a win-win situation.”

“Our participants could feel good knowing that they not only did something good for themselves, but also contributed to their community’s health and wellbeing,” said Mr. Connor.

On the success of the class, PRHF Executive Director, Nancy Warren said, “When individuals, like Dan and Colleen, take the initiative to share their passion with their community in support of wellness and health care for all, everyone who relies on Pembroke Regional Hospital benefits!”

“I heartily encourage everyone with a talent, skill, or passion for community to harness their enthusiasm, and host a charity event of their own to support the health care advancements for local families.”
