You Helped Fund over $1.9 million in Resources, Activities, Equipment and Technology!

As we wrap up our fiscal year-end, like you at tax time, Foundation staff review a lot of paperwork and excel spreadsheets with lots of numbers of them!

But we’d like to share one of those numbers with you: $1.9 million

That’s how much funding the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation provided to Lakeridge Health between April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.  And all of the resources, education bursaries, compassionate care items & activities, the vital medical equipment and top-notch technology was 100% made possible thanks to the generosity of donors like you.

From allocating a few hundred dollars to print booklets about palliative care for the staff of Lakeridge Gardens to provide to families all the way up to hundreds of thousands of dollars designated for echocardiograms that use ultrasound waves to visualize the heart’s structure and function, we put your dollars to work to help provide life-changing and lifesaving experiences for anyone who comes through our doors.

THANK YOU!

So when you read through this list, please know that this is how we put your dollars to work to help provide life-changing and life-saving experiences for anyone who comes through our doors.
