The Vancouver Canucks’ charitable arm, the Canucks for Kids Fund, made a $50,000 donation this past Saturday during the team’s training camp scrimmage in Penticton. The funds will help the SOS Medical Foundation purchase critical equipment for women and children at Penticton Regional Hospital, including a new birthing bed and a pediatric hospital crib.
“We are incredibly thankful to the Vancouver Canucks and the Canucks for Kids Fund for this remarkable gift. Investments like this directly improve the care and comfort of families in our community,” said Ian Lindsay, CEO of the SOS Medical Foundation.
“A new birthing bed and pediatric crib will make a meaningful difference for women and children receiving care at Penticton Regional Hospital.”
This donation supports the Foundation’s ongoing efforts to replace outdated equipment in the Women and Children’s Centre. “Our goal is to ensure patients and families have access to modern, high-quality equipment,” said Lindsay.
Following the presentation, Canucks representatives — including players, mascot Fin, and Canucks legend Kirk McLean toured the hospital and met patients.
