fabulous day of golf, food and<br />

fundraising <strong>for</strong> our local<br />

community hospital. For the<br />

eighth year in a row, the<br />

RUN FOR THE GENERAL<br />

Many exciting trans<strong>for</strong>mations in 2007!<br />

As part of an 8 year tradition in our community, The <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>Catharines</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> planning<br />

committee has organized another highly successful Run <strong>for</strong> the<br />

<strong>General</strong>. This year’s event enjoyed many exciting changes<br />

including a new location, Club Roma in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong>.<br />

Over 400 people participated in four events that took place from<br />

April 29th to May 6th. This included the "Spin <strong>for</strong> the <strong>General</strong>"<br />

at The Club at White Oaks on April 29th; the "Spin <strong>for</strong> Paeds"<br />

on the grounds of White Oaks on April 30th; the "<strong>St</strong>roll <strong>for</strong> the<br />

<strong>General</strong>" at Montebello Park on May 6th; and the "Run/Walk <strong>for</strong><br />

the <strong>General</strong>" at Club Roma on May 6th.<br />

This year the Children’s Activity Centre at White Oaks organized<br />

a Spin <strong>for</strong> Paediatrics <strong>for</strong> children ages 6 months to 6 years. This<br />

Page 2 | Summer 2007 | www.scghfoundation.com<br />

determined group of young philanthropists raised an impressive<br />

$1,200! Children enjoyed a lovely spin on the pathway through<br />

the White Oaks Gardens on bikes, trikes, pedal cars and strollers.<br />

Participants were entered in a draw to win a tricycle,<br />

compliments of Canadian Tire-Louth <strong>St</strong>reet.<br />

The 1K Kids Fun Run was a bright addition to the Run <strong>for</strong> the<br />

<strong>General</strong>. Children 14 and under put their best foot <strong>for</strong>ward in<br />

the Run/Walk, while raising pledges <strong>for</strong> a great cause!<br />

We are delighted to announce that $64,812 was raised <strong>for</strong> ICU,<br />

Mental Health, C4 East, Paediatric & Orthopaedic Units of the<br />

SCG. The 'Run <strong>for</strong> the <strong>General</strong>' is one of our most successful<br />

fundraisers. In just 8 years, over $226,543 has been raised<br />

toward the urgent equipment needs of our hospital.<br />

SPINNING FOR THE CAUSE STROLL FOR ORTHOPAEDIC CARE<br />

“Spin <strong>for</strong> the <strong>General</strong>” participants enjoyed a fulfilling<br />

morning of fundraising and exercise in The Club at<br />

White Oaks’ Spinning <strong>St</strong>udio. Almost $6,000 in pledges<br />

was raised by this dedicated group, who chose to spin<br />

<strong>for</strong> 1-3 hours. Thank you Vittoria Wikston, Spin<br />

Instructor and Vice President of Sales & Marketing at<br />

White Oaks <strong>for</strong> leading our spinners to victory!<br />

Friends of the Orthopaedic Department were "On the<br />

Move" at Montebello Park on Sunday, May 6th. $11,250<br />

was raised from the stroll in support of the Orthopaedic<br />

Department at the SCGH. Participants enjoyed a lovely<br />

afternoon of music, refreshments and prizes.<br />

A ‘FABULOUS’ DONATION TO MENTAL HEALTH<br />

To kick off this year's fundraising campaign, the Fabulous at 50 committee team organized an extremely successful<br />

Holiday House Tour of Distinctive Homes in Wine Country that featured six homes in beautiful Jordan raising<br />

$24,000. Over 350 ladies attended the 2nd Annual Speakers Series in January which raised over $3,000.<br />

For the second year, Fabulous at 50 women from all over the Niagara Region came out on race day to support the<br />

urgent equipment needs of the Mental Health Department. This enthusiastic group raised over $17,000 <strong>for</strong> a<br />

state-of-the-art Snoezelen Room <strong>for</strong> adults suffering with mental health issues and an ECG Monitor <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Intensive Care Unit.<br />

The Snoezelen Room is a non-threatening environment with a focus on leisure and relaxation. Whether used <strong>for</strong><br />

therapeutic gain, motivation, encouragement, pain reduction, anger management, stress relief, or simply <strong>for</strong><br />

recreational pleasure and relaxation, Snoezelen Rooms effect lasting change in mood, behavior, and relationships.<br />

We are truly grateful to our Fabulous at 50 group <strong>for</strong> their ef<strong>for</strong>ts in making this state-of-the-art facility a reality.<br />

L-R: In May, committee members<br />

Linda Vaughan and Nella Miller<br />

were pleased to attend the grand<br />

opening of the Snoezelen Room<br />

with Anne Smithson, Manager of<br />

Mental Health Services<br />

We were overjoyed to have<br />

2006 Olympic Gold Medalist,<br />

Jennifer Botterill as our special<br />

guest at this year's Run <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Coins <strong>for</strong> Kids<br />

$69,000 since 1990<br />

“In some odd karmic fashion, all of the medical instruments that our school<br />

has helped purchase through our donations <strong>for</strong> "Coins <strong>for</strong> Kids", have been<br />

used to assist my own children whenever they have gone to the <strong>General</strong><br />

<strong>Hospital</strong> <strong>for</strong> medical attention". Just as the hospital is thankful <strong>for</strong> our<br />

contributions, the participants are equally grateful <strong>for</strong> the <strong>General</strong><br />

<strong>Hospital</strong>'s fundraising initiatives such as ‘Coins <strong>for</strong> Kids’.<br />

~ Paul Lorenz, Connaught Public School<br />

Kids all over Niagara will benefit from the fundraising ef<strong>for</strong>ts of the staff and<br />

students from Glen Ridge, Connaught, Edith Cavell, Parnell, Richmond <strong>St</strong>reet,<br />

Ferndale and Monsignor Clancy Public Schools, who donated over $2,827<br />

toward the purchase of a Phototherapy Light <strong>for</strong> the Paediatric Department.<br />

Once again our friends at McBoyco Ltd. generously donated lunch certificates to<br />

each student at Glen Ridge Public School, our top-fundraising school <strong>for</strong> the third<br />

consecutive year. Representatives from Glen Ridge are pictured above with John<br />

Hunt, Coins <strong>for</strong> Kids Chair, John Veeneman, SCGH <strong>Foundation</strong> Board of Directors,<br />

Jennifer Hansen, Manager ICU and Heather Gallagher, Clinical Manager of<br />

Maternal/Child.<br />

During the appreciation ceremony, each of the winning schools donated their<br />

cash incentive prizes back to our <strong>Foundation</strong> - a surprising and much appreciated<br />

gesture. It is clear that our young philanthropists truly understand the concept<br />

of giving back to our community.<br />

We would like to extend a special thank you to John & Rosanna Hunt and family<br />

who have continued to support Coins <strong>for</strong> Kids <strong>for</strong> over 8 years. John's<br />

involvement has been an invaluable asset to this program and to our young<br />

patients.<br />

We would also like to thank the staff at Ontario Power Generation and Dana<br />

Canada who also collected coins <strong>for</strong> our young patients.<br />

A sincere thank you to our sponsors, volunteers & participants!<br />

Jesse E. Hecker<br />

Heart Function Clinic<br />

Open House<br />

May marked a new beginning <strong>for</strong> patients living with heart failure<br />

in the Niagara Region. The Jesse E. Hecker Heart Function Clinic<br />

is unique because it focuses on outpatient treatment and monitoring<br />

patients with heart failure. Using a team approach, patients are closely<br />

monitored with a goal of improving quality of life and preventing<br />

hospital admission.<br />

The Heart Function Clinic is dedicated to the memory of Jesse E.<br />

Hecker, a life long resident of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> who was committed to<br />

improving healthcare. We are truly grateful to Jesse and his daughter<br />

Betty <strong>for</strong> making this cardiac care centre become a reality. Thank you<br />

to AstraZeneca Medtronic, and Pfizer <strong>for</strong> sponsoring the Open House.<br />

(L-R) Dr. Sven Pallie<br />

and Scott Gibson, RN,<br />

received and answered<br />

many questions from<br />

guests during the<br />

official opening.<br />

<strong>St</strong>okes Seeds of Change<br />

Each year, the Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centre<br />

organizes the "Seeds of Change" campaign, where flower seeds<br />

are distributed throughout the community to raise public awareness<br />

and understanding about sexual violence. This year <strong>St</strong>okes Seeds<br />

generously donated over 500 flower seeds and packets which were<br />

distributed in our community. Thank you <strong>for</strong> your support of this<br />

important cause!<br />

Mattern-Turpin Shines<br />

A ‘Light’ <strong>for</strong> Paeds<br />

T he Mattern-Turpin Group at RBC Dominion Securities were<br />

thrilled to present long-time clients, friends and business<br />

partners with a gift that truly makes a difference. In lieu of<br />

Christmas gifts, the Mattern-Turpin group purchased Phototherapy<br />

Lights <strong>for</strong> the Special Care Nursery. Phototherapy lights are used to<br />

treat newborns diagnosed with jaundice.<br />

The new phototherapy light treats newborn babies much faster<br />

than the older models. A quicker recovery, makes baby and<br />

family much happier! (L-R): Heather Gallagher, Clinical Manager<br />

Three Times Is A Charm <strong>for</strong><br />

Michael J. Brennan<br />

<strong>St</strong>udents from Michael J. Brennan Catholic School visited the SCG with 18<br />

Easter baskets <strong>for</strong> the children in the Paediatric department. The 167<br />

students bought items like small toys, activity books and games <strong>for</strong> our<br />

young patients. This is the third year that Michael J. Brennan students have<br />

been visiting the hospital at Easter.<br />

Couture <strong>for</strong> the Cause<br />

In April, the Club Roma Ladies Auxiliary hosted their annual Fashion Show<br />

in support of the Evangelista/Adams Centre <strong>for</strong> Breast Screening. Guests<br />

enjoyed a delightful culinary cuisine, while models displayed the latest<br />

fashion trends <strong>for</strong> men, women and children.<br />

From 1998 to 2006 the Ladies of Club Roma have raised a remarkable<br />

$38,495 to help support the urgent needs of our hospital, with $26,050<br />

of these funds directed towards the Evangelista/Adams Centre <strong>for</strong> Breast<br />

Screening. This year’s event generated an impressive $5,000.<br />

DO YOU LIKE TO KNIT?<br />

The Ladies Auxiliary Knitting Group have been very busy this year creating<br />

beautiful, hand-made items <strong>for</strong> patients in Palliative Care,<br />

and retail sales <strong>for</strong> the Gift Shoppe. If you would like to<br />
