A Winning Raffle!

The Car or Ca$h for Health Care in Your Community raffle wrapped-up last week with the winner, Jordan Waito choosing to take the 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible as his prize. Organizers are still spinning with excitement with the announcement of the funds raised through this inaugural initiative.

Due to the wonderful generosity of Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC in donating the car in full to both the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation and the Almonte General Hospital & Fairview Manor (AGH-FVM) Foundation, a grand net total of $100,000 was raised for local health care! Split evenly to $50,000 for each hospital, this amazing accomplishment took an army of volunteers from across both communities.

“We count on community support through our foundations to put the best tools in the hands of our caring and dedicated physicians and staff” said Mary Wilson Trider, President and CEO of both the Almonte General Hospital and the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. “These funds will help each hospital purchase some urgently needed equipment.” Robyn Arseneau, Executive Director of the CPDMH Foundation, added “we are so very appreciative to Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC and to everyone who supported this raffle; both in those who bought tickets and to everyone who helped promote and sell tickets at community and regional events, fairs and car shows. Thank you for making this possible!”
