Ninety-six golfers teed off to raise money to purchase priority medical equipment needed in our hospital.

PECMHF and RE/MAX are pleased to announce this year’s golf drive which raised nearly $40,000 for priority equipment needed at PECMH.

Because priority equipment purchases are not government funded, PECMHF relies on donor support to ensure healthcare remains close by should anyone need it now or in the future.

“The foundation is committed to working with county businesses and others to help us meet the needs of our fundraising goals of bringing modern equipment to our current hospital and our new hospital. We are proud of RE/MAX’s continued efforts to improve healthcare in support of our county hospital,” said Shannon Coull, Executive Director of the PECMH Foundation.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the community’s response to this tournament and the fundraising efforts for our county hospital,” said Sean McKinney, real estate agent with RE/MAX Quinte. “Our representatives are extremely active and committed to this community, and they know the positive impact a viable hospital has on families. The fact that we can facilitate this tournament and be part of helping the hospital foundation with such important work is extremely satisfying. It is a natural extension of our company.”

This day would not have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors: Wilkinson & Company LLP, Gulliver and Co. Mortgage Group, Herb and Kathy Pliwischkies of RE/MAX Quinte, Eurotile & Stone, Market High Advertising, Monument Geomatics & Estimating, Parkside Landscaping & Contracting, Jacklin & Sons, Port Picton Homes and Wellings of Picton. More than 40 hole sponsors and more than 40 prize donors contributed to the success of the day.
