Moncton, February 11, 2020 — The CHU Dumont Foundation’s Valentine’s Day Gala presented by the National Bank celebrated its 25th anniversary on February 8. A record-breaking $127,000 cheque was unveiled in front of the 450 attendees.
The chair of the CHU Dumont Foundation’s Board of Directors, Lise Caissie, feels grateful for the support of the public that, year after year actively participates in the success of the Foundation’s initiatives, allowing it to invest in the improvement of care and health services offered at the Dr.-George-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre.
“It is the unconditional support of the community and our partners that allows us to succeed in fulfilling our mandate. This 25th edition is no exception. The extreme generosity shown by our partners, sponsors and participants will allow us to support other important projects for the many departments of our hospital centre. Whether it’s for pediatrics, surgery, geriatrics, microbiology, cardiology, among others, our team works hard to raise funds to improve the experience of our patients and their loved ones.”
