IG Wealth Backs the Build
IG Wealth Management Backs the Build
PICTON, January 28, 2025 –The team at IG Wealth Management continue to give back to the communities they work and live in.
On behalf of IG Wealth Management, Barbara Shuster and Scott Lavender are Backing the Build for the fourth consecutive year and were pleased to donate $2,370 to the new hospital campaign. This brings the four-year total given by IG Wealth Management to $10,870.
Lavender and Shuster reside in Prince Edward County and are Certified Financial Planners (CFP) with IG Wealth Management. This past spring, they once again completed income tax returns for the residents of Wellington on the Lake in exchange for a donation to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation’s (PECMHF) Back the Build campaign.
Lavender and Shuster matched the donations given by their clients.
“This initiative from IG Wealth Management encourages meaningful community involvement for the residents of Wellington on the Lake through Barbara and Scott’s continued efforts,” said Shannon Coull, executive director of the PECMH Foundation. “Financial advisors can play a significant role for their clients as their expertise can help donors to direct their donations to fit their personal circumstances and maximize any tax advantages. The way Scott and Barb are choosing to support our campaign through this income tax fundraiser will help shape how health care will be delivered in our community for years to come. We are extremely grateful and are excited about the partnership we are developing with IG Wealth Management.”
IG Wealth Management prides itself on providing reliable and dedicated service to its clients, so it was easy to decide to Back the Build again this year. Many of their staff and clients enjoy living in or spending time in Prince Edward County, and many have needed to use the County hospital.
“Ensuring we have the best care for the members of our community and region on a 24/7 basis is important to IG Wealth Management,” said Lavender. “Now that the construction is underway on our new hospital, Barbara and I are committed to helping to build a new home for Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.”
“We felt this was an amazing turnout from the residents of Wellington on the Lake, who are excited to see a new hospital taking shape in The County,” said Shuster. “Seeing how the community supports the new hospital has been rewarding and inspires us to continue.”
