Recognizing business community impact on RMH during Small Business Week
While businesses come in all shapes and sizes, the impact the business community has on life in Kawartha Lakes never changes. They touch every family with the products and services they provide, employment and related benefits — including support for local charities such as the Ross.
To recognize local business leaders’ exceptional caring, the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation is launching the WE ARE THE ROSS Business Community program during Small Business Week.
“This program shines a light on the businesses — large and small — who show their community commitment with support for Ross Memorial Hospital,” said Tim Shauf, WE ARE THE ROSS campaign chair and CEO of The Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group, in a press release. “More than that, we are providing new opportunities to amplify local businesses’ philanthropic efforts.”
“The Kawartha Lakes business community shows a lot of creativity when it comes to supporting local causes,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Some choose to give back through fundraising events, point of sale giving initiatives, promotions, employee giving programs and annual donations — they all make a difference at the Ross. We look forward to highlighting and celebrating all of these acts of kindness and support for patient care in our community.”
The Foundation is reaching out to business leaders with details of the WE ARE THE ROSS Business Community. Business owners may also learn more about the new program by contacting the Foundation Office at 705-328-6146 or visiting wearetheross.ca/ways-to-give/
