Happy days for fundraising campaign in New Tecumseth
Alliston and Angus McDonald's McHappy Day raised $12,500 for the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF).
In addition, SMHF received an extra $14,000 during its Because of YOU relaunch event, further strengthening its partnership and commitment to hospital redevelopment efforts.
Together, this funding brings the total contributions from MacKinnon Restaurants, that owns McDonald's in both Alliston and Angus, to an impressive $200,000 to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation.
'We're incredibly proud to be part of a community that values and supports our local hospital. Every dollar raised during events like McHappy Day makes a real difference—it helps us provide the best possible care for our family, neighbours, and loved ones,' said Rory MacKinnon, owner/operator of McDonald's in Alliston and Angus.
The Because of You campaign is an effort to raise funds from the community to help build a future of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. This project will triple the size of the hospital, provide expanded emergency care and advanced diagnostic imaging, including Stevenson's first MRI suite.
Community funds will also be put toward modern inpatient facilities, and specialized surgical services, all designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the growing community.
'We are deeply grateful to McDonald's in Alliston and Angus for their incredible generosity and unwavering support during McHappy Day.
'Their contributions play a crucial role in our overall efforts to advance the construction of Stevenson's new facility, which will significantly enhance healthcare services for our community,' said Frank Cerisano, CEO for SMHF.
'This support is significant as it helps us progress towards our $80 million Because of YOU campaign goal, helping to ensure that every patient continues to receive the quality care they deserve today and for generations to come.'
