A <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Note</strong> <strong>From</strong> <strong>President</strong>, <strong>Trevor</strong> <strong>Cooper</strong><br />
<strong>Trevor</strong> <strong>Cooper</strong>,<br />
SCGH Foundation <strong>President</strong><br />
Dear Friends of The Foundation,<br />
I write to thank and congratulate all of you. You made our 2008 fiscal<br />
year a record! We exceeded $3.3 million raised, which will be<br />
devoted to the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> General Hospital for the purchase of<br />
urgently needed equipment. Over the last four fiscal years, we have<br />
raised $10.9 million, again another record! To all of you who have<br />
made this achievement possible, you have made a significant<br />
difference to healthcare in our community.<br />
I am also very pleased to announce Mr. Ameer Wakil has been selected<br />
unanimously by our board to lead the Foundation onto even greater<br />
success. I have had the great pleasure to serve with Ameer for the last<br />
5 years and can assure you that we are fortunate to have such a<br />
capable executive at the helm of the Foundation, as we enter a new<br />
era in Niagara healthcare with the building of our new facility.<br />
It has been a privilege to serve as the <strong>President</strong> of the Foundation for<br />
the last four years and to see so many be so very generous. This<br />
generosity is not limited to our wonderful donors but extends to our<br />
tremendous volunteers and board members. I would like to thank all<br />
of our past and current volunteers, both board members and<br />
everyone who helps make our fundraising efforts so successful, for<br />
their tireless efforts to improve the quality of care and increase access<br />
to the newest and best technology for our region.<br />
Lastly, I would like to thank Sandra Wilkes, our amazing Executive<br />
Director, and her great staff. She is the constant at the heart of this<br />
Foundation. Her vision and tireless efforts make this Foundation a<br />
success story to be proud of for the entire Niagara community.<br />
Thank you all for your kindness, generosity and ongoing efforts for<br />
Niagara healthcare. Your gifts of time and funding have laid a strong<br />
foundation for a healthier Niagara community.<br />
Yours truly,<br />
<strong>Trevor</strong> <strong>Cooper</strong>, <strong>President</strong> from 2003-2008<br />

Sundawn “On Par”<br />
for 13th Annual Golf Classic<br />
The sweltering heat didn't affect the spirits of 170<br />
participants of the 13th Annual Golf Classic on Monday,<br />
July 7, 2008 at the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> Golf & Country Club.<br />
After expenses, a grand total of $65,000 was raised toward the<br />
purchase of a state-of-the-art Digital Fluoroscopy Unit for<br />
Diagnostic Imaging at the SCG.<br />
For the fifth year Sundawn Integrated Services, a national leader<br />
in the heating and air conditioning service industry for 50 years,<br />
showed enormous support for the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> General<br />
Hospital Foundation when it accepted the role of Presenting<br />
Sponsor of the Foundation's Annual Golf Classic.<br />
Guests enjoyed a fabulous day of golf, food and fundraising for<br />
our local community hospital. This year we were thrilled with<br />
the additional support from the Niagara Ice Dogs and Hamilton<br />
Tiger Cats. The cast from Mirvish Productions' smash hit "Dirty<br />
Dancing" demonstrated their talents on and off the golf course<br />
by performing an impressive Mambo during our Live Auction.<br />
Thank you to <strong>St</strong>an Parzygnat,<br />
Matt Harris and the team at<br />
Sundawn Integrated Services<br />

Coins <strong>From</strong> the Heart<br />
<strong>St</strong>udents support Paeds one coin at a time<br />
In the bustling hallways of four Niagara elementary schools, the sounds of<br />
jingling pockets loaded with change rose above the daily commotion as<br />
students raced from room to room dropping coins into buckets placed in each<br />
classroom.<br />
This year's campaign raised far more than pocket change. Fundraising efforts<br />
from the staff and students at Glen Ridge, Parnall, Monsignor Clancy and<br />
Ferndale schools raised over $2,200 toward the purchase of a Portable Oxygen<br />
Saturation Monitor for Paediatrics. Since inception Coins for Kids has raised an<br />
unprecedented $78,000 for the Maternal Child Centre at the SCG.<br />
Once again our friends at Glen Ridge Public School were awarded the top<br />
fundraising school for the fourth consecutive year. McBoyco Ltd. generously<br />
donated lunch certificates to each student at Glen Ridge during an annual<br />
appreciation ceremony in June for our participating schools. A special thanks to<br />
Seaway farms for providing beautiful potted plants to brighten our celebration.<br />
We would like to express a sincere thank you to John Hunt and his family for<br />
their continued support of Coins for Kids. As chair of Coins for Kids, John's<br />
involvement is integral to the success of this program.<br />
Representatives from Glen Ridge, our top fundraising school, were<br />
pleased to accept their Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of<br />
their school.<br />
Friends from Parnell (left) and Monsignor Clancy (right) were happy<br />
to participate in the Coins for Kids festivities<br />

A special thank you from the<br />
Emergency Department<br />
I just wanted to acknowledge another<br />
wonderful donation from the Foundation office.<br />
We appreciate the puzzles, beanie babies and<br />
books that were graciously passed along to us<br />
from donors within the community.<br />
We see so many children in the Emergency<br />
Department on a daily basis. These sorts of<br />
gifts help to alleviate and distract a child from<br />
a sometimes uneasy or even fearful ED visit.<br />
Thanks again to The Foundation Office<br />
and its many donors.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Vera Girard, RN, Emergency Dept.<br />
