Bruce Power’s supplier partners have contributed $100,000 toward local health care initiatives across the region.
The funding boost includes a $75,000 cheque presented during the Gran Fondo Lake Huron cycling event on August 15. The contribution helped propel this year’s fundraising total to $520,000, benefitting both the Saugeen Shores Hospital Foundation and the Brightshores Health System.
"Bruce Power and its supplier partners stand proudly with local residents and health-care providers, contributing to long-lasting benefits for the community," said Eric Chassard, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Power. "The Gran Fondo is a special event that raises much-needed funds for essential hospital equipment in the region, and we’re thankful to our supplier partners for their continued support."
The Gran Fondo Lake Huron has established itself as a major community fixture since launching in 2018, bringing together individual cyclists, corporate teams, and families to support local hospitals. Over its multi-year run, the annual ride has generated more than $2.1 million for regional medical needs.
"We are incredibly grateful to Bruce Power and its supplier partners for their continued commitment to Gran Fondo Lake Huron and to local health care across our region," said Tracy Murray, Executive Director, Saugeen Shores Hospital Foundation. "Their support goes far beyond sponsorship. It brings people together, inspires others to give and helps turn one remarkable day of riding into meaningful investments in the care our communities rely on. We simply could not achieve the impact of Gran Fondo without Bruce Power and the many suppliers who continue to step up alongside them year after year."
