Bruce Power supports cycling event for Saugeen Memorial Hospital

Bruce Power supplier partners have donated $100,000 to this year’s Saugeen Memorial Hospital Gran Fondo.

The annual fundraising bike ride took place on August 16th, bringing together families, teams, and individuals to pedal for health care improvements across the region.

“Bruce Power’s Supplier Partners continue to impress us with their commitment to local and regional health care improvement initiatives,” said James Scongack, Bruce Power’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer. “Technology and health care improvements, along with ongoing staff initiatives, ensure Brightshores Health System remains a top-tier provider for years to come.”

“We are deeply grateful to Bruce Power’s suppliers for their continued support of the Gran Fondo Lake Huron,” said Tracy Murray, Executive Director, Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation. “Their generosity helps ensure this event not only brings our community together in a celebration of cycling and camaraderie but also raises vital funds to strengthen health care across our region. With this partnership, we can continue to invest in life-saving equipment and services that make a real difference for patients and families close to home.”

Since 2018, Bruce Power and its suppliers have helped raise more than $1.7 million for the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation—funds that go directly toward life-saving equipment and services close to home.
