Gearhub Sports stepped up and presented the East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) with an amazing donation to go towards the Beneath the Surface Campaign!

The Beneath the Surface campaign wrapped up funding for the new ultrasound technology for the Elk Valley Hospital in record time!

The East Kootenay Community Credit Union announced a donation of $5,000 to East Kootenay Foundation for Health for the ‘BENEATH THE SURFACE’ Campaign for Ultrasound Technology in the Elk Valley.

The East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s (EKFH) “Beneath the Surface” campaign just got a significant boost with a $20,000 grant from the RDEK Electoral Area A Discretionary Grant in Aid account.

With Teck matching all donations up to $50,000 before Sept 30th, the Fernie Fox Hotel donation will be leveraged to help achieve the goal of raising $300,000 to purchase the ultrasound machine.

The EKFH is asking the Elk Valley community to help support this campaign by donating today to ensure the goal is reached quickly and the new service up and running within a few months.
