Community Raises $100,000 for Erie Shores Health Foundation’s One Week, One Million Initiative

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

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

“We are one big step closer to reaching our goal,” shares 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 One Week, One Million, fundraising 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 the remainder of the goal, finishing touches in the Suite, and upkeep costs.

Donations to the MRI Project can be made online 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.
