Dave Depencier and Dan Van Moorsel, organizers of The Final Push bike ride, recently announced $15,000 in support from Campbell Toyota towards their event.
Depencier and Van Moorsel are riding 1,000 kilometres across Southwestern Ontario to raise funds for the Foundation of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance’s $6.9 million Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Renewal Campaign.
“The support from the dedicated team at Campbell Toyota has been overwhelming – there was no hesitation when I presented the Final Push concept to them,” Depencier, said in a release. “Campbell Toyota believes in giving back to the community, and 100% of this donation is supporting a new CT Scan that is going to save lives throughout the entire community.”
The Final Push will take place over six days, starting May 23 from CKHA’s Wallaceburg hospital site, heading to Toronto and back to Chatham-Kent on May 28.
“It is wonderful to see the community coming together to support Dave, Dan and the Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Renewal Campaign,” said Mary Lou Crowley, Executive Director, Foundation of CKHA. “This generous boost from Campbell Toyota really showcases how Chatham-Kent rallies together to support each other and the needs of the community, including our local hospital.”
Individuals are encouraged to pledge the cyclists by donating online at thefinalpush.ca or through corporate sponsorship by contacting Depencier directly. The Final Push target fundraising goal is $100,000.
