At the core of every world class community are people who care—people who care about the work they do, they community they live in and the chance to make a difference. At Grand River Hospital Foundation, we share this passion and dedicate ourselves to our great community by working in partnership with people from all walks of life to make every health care experience exceptional. Every year, tens of thousands of people just like you rally to support the health of our community by giving back to Grand River Hospital, bringing us one step closer to our vision of a world class health care system right here in our community.

Victoria M. was the lucky winner of January’s 50/50 lottery jackpot, taking home an astounding $18,225!
“I buy the tickets to help the hospital. I never bought them to win,” Victoria noted. “I wanted to help, but I don’t have a lot of money. But I can afford $50 a month, and then when you see what it buys, it’s amazing! That every little bit helps. And I want the services there for everybody I know when they need them.”
The Concordia Club Treffpunkt Group embodies the spirit of camaraderie and community with their generous dedication to giving back and their engagement in our local community. Beyond their social gatherings and ongoing involvement in the Concordia Club’s events and activities, including Oktoberfest, this group within the Club also manages the Club’s Partners for Life blood donation group and donates money and gifts-in-kind to two charities every year. This year, the Concordia Club Treffpunkt Group generously chose to donate the incredible $1,310 they raised from their annual bottle drive to the Waterloo Wellington Breast Centre at Grand River Hospital.
Together we can achieve more than we ever could apart, which is why we are excited to celebrate the success of our joint MRI fundraising campaign with St. Mary’s General Hospital Foundation to date.
Thanks to the outpouring of support from our incredible community, we are in the home stretch of our joint campaign to raise $10 million for two additional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines for our community. These scanners are an important investment that will alleviate long wait times for MRI services and allow patients in our community to receive their scans faster and closer to home.
