The Lions Club of Kingsville has made the first major donation to Erie Shores HealthCare Diagnostic Imaging Renewal Project.
The club donated $20,000, raised through its first annual Star Chefs Gala held in November.
"With the December announcement that MRI is coming to Erie Shores HealthCare, the Diagnostic Imaging Renewal Project is beyond exciting for our community. While the provincial government has pledged the operating dollars, it’s up to our community to raise the capital funds required. This donation kicks off that effort to bring an enhanced Diagnostic Imaging program to our hospital,” said Kristin Kennedy, president and CEO of Erie Shores HealthCare.
The Star Chef’s Gala sold out with a total of 176 guests. It featured food prepared and served by members of Eat, Drink, Dine, Kingsville.
The Lions Club of Kingsville is already busy planning its second annual Star Chef's Gala. It will be held on October 14, 2023 and will once again benefit Erie Shores HealthCare.
