Ledcor employees have proudly supported BCCH for many years and 2015 was no different. Marking the 25th year of participation, together we have raised over $6 million for patients and their families!
This past June, Ledcor employees participated in the BCCH Telethon Miracle weekend, presenting $127,745 to the BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, and $17,040 to the IWK Foundation in Halifax, a health care center that provides care to women, children, and youth from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. The majority of fundraising comes from the annual company-wide employee campaign where funds are raised through individual pledges. Funds are also raised through local events, such as Slo-Pitch and Jeans Day, with Ledcor matching everything raised.
Together with donors, the IWK Foundation raises money to support the complex care provided at the IWK Health Centre, a world-class, specialized facility for Maritime women, children, youth, and families.
Because of the support of donors, the IWK is able to provide world-class care, and even received a heartwarming video of thanks from two parents whose infant son suffers from a heart condition, “Without the IWK and the wonderful people that work here and all of you amazing donors, there’s no doubt that our son wouldn’t be with us today – Thank You.”
Your dedication and commitment to giving back to the IWK and BCCH communities year after year exemplifies the qualities and characteristics that make our Ledcor family so strong.
