PE Ag Society Backs the Build

PICTON, October 5, 2021

For 13 years, the Prince Edward Agricultural Society have been advocating for our County hospital by putting their baking skills, and now their drive thru skills, to the test.

 

With the COVID-19 pandemic and the Picton Fair being postponed for a second year, the Prince Edward Agricultural Society hosted their second annual drive thru event at the Picton Fairgrounds on September 11.

 

Over 1,500 people cruised through the fairgrounds to take in the agricultural-themed displays and enjoy their favourite fair food.


Admission was free but donations to the
Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Picton United Church Food Bank and the Storehouse Food Bank were encouraged.

 

The donations raised $5,000 and saw $2,000 donated to the PECMHF’s Back the Build Campaign for a new hospital in Prince Edward County. Each food bank received $1,500.

 

The Agricultural Society, and the three local charities, thank all of the generous people who visited the Drive Thru event and made a donation.

 

Today’s donation brings the Ag Society’s cumulative giving total to PECMHF to $14,705.

 

The Foundation is proud of their 13-year partnership with the Agricultural Society and hopes to see you all at next year’s Picton Fair!

 

The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to raising funds to advance health care for the patients of the hospital and the people of Prince Edward County.

The Rotary Club of Picton has once again demonstrated its long-standing dedication to strengthening local healthcare by presenting a $5,000 donation to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) Foundation in support of the Back the Build campaign.  The contribution represents funds raised through several Rotary-led community initiatives, including their annual Rotary Golf Tournament , the Waterfalls Tour , Rotary Cash Calendars and the Lilac Ride . These events continue to play a significant role in ensuring the Foundation meets our $30M Back the Build campaign goal for the new PECMH. For more than 23 years, the Rotary Club of Picton has been a steadfast partner in improving healthcare in PEC—contributing close to $225,000 to date. This includes a generous $100,000 pledge toward Back the Build campaign that was fulfilled in 2023. These funds help to ensure the new hospital is equipped with the modern tools and technology needed to serve patients today and for generations to come. “The Rotary Club of Picton has a deep and enduring commitment to community service, and supporting our hospital is a natural extension of that mission,” said J.J. Johnston, Rotary Club of Picton President. “We are proud to continue contributing to a project that will have a lasting impact on everyone in Prince Edward County.” “We are grateful for Rotary’s leadership, generosity, and community spirit,” said Shannon Coull, Executive Director, PECMH Foundation. “Their ongoing support of this campaign helps ensure our new hospital will provide the high-quality care our community deserves. Rotary truly embodies what it means to give back to the County.” The PECMH Foundation extends its sincere thanks to the Rotary Club of Picton for their support of local healthcare and their thoughtful contribution toward building and equipping the new hospital.
