A $75,000 donation will help Wounded Warriors Canada support military Veterans, First Responders and their families.
Bruce Power and its suppliers have supported the organization since 2012. In all, $1.3 million in donations have been made to help the national mental health service provider deliver training and trauma-based counselling services.
Scott Maxwell, Executive Director of Wounded Warriors Canada, attended a fundraising gala at the Underwood Community Centre on November 2, where he offered gratitude for the funding.
“Bruce Power and its nuclear suppliers have stood beside us since our inception,” Maxwell said. “Year after year, they continue to highlight their care, compassion, and support for those who keep our country and communities safe. We are experiencing unprecedented demand for mental health support from those we serve and it’s thanks to the continued partnership with Bruce Power and supply chain partners that we’re able to provide our culturally specific counselling services in a timely manner, when our heroes reach out for help.”
“I’m proud of the more than 40 companies that take part in our annual Supplier Sponsorship Program for their continued support of an organization as important as Wounded Warriors Canada,” said Mike Rencheck, Bruce Power’s President and CEO. “By raising $680,000 this year, our suppliers are making a huge difference for Wounded Warriors, Indigenous communities, local food banks, toy drives and hamper programs, people fighting cancer, and many other important organizations.”
An additional $10,000 was raised at the gala, bringing the total donation to $85,000.
