Sandra Phekoo Financial Services Inc. and Co-operators Alliston recently provided a $15,000 donation to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Because of You campaign.

The gift will support the redevelopment of Stevenson Memorial Hospital and the construction of a new hospital that will provide modern healthcare services for generations to come.

“Sandra Phekoo and Co-operators have shown their commitment to our community through this generous gift,” said Melody Craggs, director of campaign and philanthropy for the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF). “Support like this brings us one step closer to making our vision for a new Stevenson Memorial Hospital a reality. We are incredibly grateful for their investment in the future of healthcare close to home.”

For Sandra Phekoo and Co-operators, supporting the Because of You campaign is an opportunity to help ensure local families have access to the care they need for years to come.

“In the Eastern Ancient Indian culture, there is a concept called ‘seva’ which means selfless service, which goes beyond charity,” Sandra said. “I truly believe small acts of selfless service is transformative and can change the world. When we give without expectations, we discover that true meaning of fulfillment, that is found in not what we acquire, but in helping others.”

This fall, there are two ways to make your support go further. Thanks to the Morningview Foundation, new donations to SMHF will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1.34 million annually for the next three years.

From Sept. 1 to Dec. 16, every $1,000 in new donations also gives you an opportunity to have your name on a patient room in Stevenson Memorial Hospital’s future facility.

The redevelopment project is valued at $405 million, and the local share being raised through the Because of You campaign is $80 million.
