Bathurst, Thursday, April 30, 2020: At a time when the whole world is being put on hold due to the pandemic, the population of Acadie-Bathurst has mobilized to continue the fight against cancer by allowing the Rose Radiothon to post a surprising figure of more than $155,000, 87% of the $178,000 objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fundraising events were held throughout the past year, but several have had to be cancelled in recent months due to the COVID-19 related pandemic. The Rose Radiothon day regroupings scheduled for Friday, April 24th were no\nexception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 4 presidents of the Roses\nRadiothon wanted to deliver their message of solidarity to the people who\ncontinue their battle against cancer on the occasion of this 14th edition of\nthe Roses Radiothon. “We simply wanted to give the opportunity to those\nwho could and wanted to make a donation to be able to do so in order to support\nthe people of our region in their fight against cancer, which continues despite\nthe pandemic. “It is with this in mind that the Foundations have continued\nto accept donations through their website and by phone without any further\nactive solicitation in order to respect those who are currently being affected\nby the impact of COVID-19. The Foundations continue to accept donations for\nthose who would still like to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again this year, the population has\nbeen very generous. The Acadie-Bathurst Foundations are impressed by the\ncontinued generosity of the people. “Every contribution we receive lets us\nknow that the Foundations are supported in our mission to help our hospitals to\nprovide the best health care to the population. The surpluses that have been\nraised through previous radiothons will allow us to cover the difference in\ncosts and meet our commitments to purchase equipment for our hospitals.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rose Radiothon also took the\nopportunity to thank all of its many volunteers who contributed to the\nRadiothon during the year, as well as the support received from donors and our\nmajor partners CKLE, CKRO, Max 104.9 and L’ Acadie Nouvelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
