From the bottom of our refurbished hearts we thank all of you who helped us raise over $10,150 at our 34th annual Walk for Hearts on Sept. 12 – all our members and friends who donated prizes and food and everyone who volunteered at the event; all the businesses & citizens who donated funds, Walkers; those who went into the community getting & giving pledges.
Very Special Thanks to the Campbell River Community Foundation for an additional $5,000 grant for patient support, Peninsula Co-op C. River, Willow Point Tim Horton’s, Quality Foods, Campbell River Mirror, Matt Morris - Raven 100.7 FM Radio, Willow Point Lions, Cavallo Aesthetics & Day Spa.

All of You have ensured financial support for heart patients & the purchases of life saving cardiac equipment for our CR Hospital. Anyone is welcome to join us. We are not affiliated with the Heart & Stroke Foundation nor do we receive any govt. funding. We are a local support group for heart patients and their families, all volunteers. The funds are raised locally and stay local!
See you next year!
