The Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation (TMHF) reports that McDonald’s Hospital Day, held on Thursday, October 2, raised $8,711 in support of Trenton Memorial Hospital.
The total was raised through McDonald’s donations of one dollar from every Big Mac and McChicken sold, $0.50 from each medium to extra-large coffee, and community donations collected at the three Quinte West locations.
“We’re thrilled to partner with TMHF again for McDonald’s Hospital Day this year. Supporting local healthcare and crucial equipment purchases means improved care for everyone in our community when they need it most. We’re grateful to all the volunteers and everyone in our generous community who came out to support this day,” said Crystal Sun, owner of McDonald’s Quinte West.
“We are grateful to Crystal, Sammy, the Quinte West McDonald’s teams, our volunteers, and every customer who supported. Your generosity will help us fund new Holter monitors so patients can get timely heart care close to home,” said Lindsay Butcher Dodds, Executive Director, Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation. “This event shows what our community can do together.”
Funds will go toward the purchase of Holter monitors, which cost about $3,057 each and are used to monitor and diagnose heart conditions.
