Since 2006 the Creston Valley Shrine Club #35 has quietly been making annual donations to the Pediatric Unit at the Creston Valley Hospital (CVH).

On April 20 the Shriners once again presented a donation of $636 for the kids.  What the Shriners didn’t realize is that with this generous gift the club has now surpassed over $10,000 in giving to the hospital.

“The Pediatric Team is genuinely touched by the continued support of the Shriners and we are pleased to work with East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) to see these gifts stewarded for Creston,” reported Carolyn Hawton, the new Site Manager at CVH.

East Kootenay Foundation for Health is a non-profit society and public charitable foundation. The foundation stewards over 30+ funds for hospitals and health care facilities throughout the East Kootenay.  To learn more about EKFH and its mission please visit www.ekfh.ca or like us on Facebook.
