Annual Boot Drive supports Image is Everything

Pickering Professional Firefighters continue tradition of supporting their community hospital

On Saturday October 29, the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation worked alongside the Pickering Professional Firefighters at their annual boot drive at various malls throughout the City of Pickering to collect funds for the Image is Everything campaign.

This fundraising campaign has raised $4.3 million, to date, towards the purchase of the brand new MRI recently installed at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. With the MRI machine now up and running, and patients are already receiving MRI results, the firefighters know it is more important than ever to complete the fundraising goal of $5 million to complete the campaign.

Last year, the Firefighters were able to raise $17,000 towards the campaign, and hope that drivers who enter and exit the malls will again be as generous when asked by volunteers to donate their spare change.

From the RVHS Foundation, thank you to our dedicated firefighters for their continued support!
