Erie Shores Health Foundation’s One Week, One Million initiative officially closed on Tuesday, February 4th , 2025.

The initiative, with funds dedicated to Erie Shores HealthCare’s MRI Suite, saw an outpouring of support from individuals and organizations in the community, together raising a total of $100,000 toward the project.

“We are one big step closer to reaching our goal,” shared Penny Bellhouse, Executive Director of Erie Shores Health Foundation.

“We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the immense support we received from the community throughout our One Week, One Million initiative. I want to thank each and every person who has made a donation and/or advocated for the project so far.”

When the One Week, One Million initiative was announced, fundraising was sitting at $3.5 million of the $5 million goal raised.

Following the initiative, fundraising now sits at $3.6 million with additional fundraising commitments from specific community supporters like Kids Curing Cancer.

Any further donations to the MRI Project will go toward achieving the remainder of the goal, finishing touches in the Suite, and upkeep costs.

Donations to the MRI Project can be made online at www.eshf.ca, and by mail or in-person.

The ESHF office is in the Leamington Medical Village at 197 Talbot Street West, Suite 211, Leamington, ON, N8H 1N8.
