DAVID MCCULLOUGH WINS THE DAVID BLENKARN AWARD
First awarded in 2010, the David Blenkarn Award recognizes a volunteer whose unwavering dedication has made a transformative impact on RVH and the patients we care for. David McCullough began volunteering with RVH in 2005, became a member of RVH Foundation’s board in 2011, chaired the Hearts and Minds Campaign, and served as RVH Foundation’s Board Chair from 2015 to 2017.
This list is just a glimpse at the many ways David has supported RVH. Through it all, his humility, compassion, wisdom and love of community inspired everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him. These, along with many other qualities, make David McCullough RVH Foundation’s 2024 David Blenkarn Award winner.
Please join us in congratulating David on this much-deserved award.
A few words from Rayner McCullough
We had the honour of sitting down with Rayner McCullough, long-time RVH volunteer, generous donor, past chairperson of both RVH and RVH Foundation’s Board, and 2014 David Blenkarn Award winner, to chat about how proud he was to hear that his nephew, David, was also honoured with the Blenkarn Award.
CALL OF THE WILD GALA RAISES $700K
We are so grateful for the hundreds of RVH donors who donned their black ties and gowns on October 26 at the Call of the Wild gala presented by Purehealth Pharmacy.
Together, we raised a record $700,000 in support of advanced, life-saving care close to home! All funds raised will help RVH build a regional health system with expanded specialized regional cancer, cardiac, trauma, kidney, and mental health programs.
In the Spotlight
PINK HAS NEVER FELT SO GOOD
In October, our community made every purchase count through TangerPink. Thanks to Tanger Outlets Cookstown and all who participated, we raised over $20,000 to expand breast cancer services at RVH’s Hudson Regional Cancer Centre (HRCC). Because of you, more families will have access to lifesaving care, close to home.
ON TRACK FOR KIDS’ MENTAL HEALTH
Thanks to hundreds of generous donors, RBC Race for the Kids raised $117,838 for kids’ mental health in our region! Your support means thousands of kids will gain skills to manage stress, reframe negative thoughts, build resilience and so much more. These tools will stay with them at school, work, and anywhere they go, so they can continue to thrive well into the future. Thank you for making a real difference.
