Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation welcomes RE/MAX Land Exchange as Platinum Sponsor of the 70k Ride

Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is pleased to announce that RE/MAX Land Exchange has joined the Gran Fondo Lake Huron team as a Platinum Sponsor of the 70k Ride!  As a $10,000 Platinum Sponsor, RE/MAX Land Exchange will be participating at several levels to support this event.  Watch for the RE/MAX balloon at the start and finish gate, rider’s shirts, and out and about on the 70k course.  Realtors from the RE/MAX Land Exchange offices in Port Elgin and Southampton will also be riding in the event.

Renate Sieber-Schlegel, Broker of Record for RE/MAX Land Exchange is pleased at how the Gran Fondo goals reflect the values of the brokerage.  “We know that many of our clients are looking for health care close to home.  Supporting an event of this magnitude that, in turn, raises funds for the Southampton Hospital aligns with our own corporate goals and image.”

Renate is pleased that the RE/MAX Land Exchange offices in Southampton and Port Elgin are very excited to be involved in this signature event.  “We like that the ride goes beyond the borders of Saugeen Shores into our beautiful agricultural areas.  We are happy to be a part of this.”

The 2018 Gran Fondo Lake Huron is a new fundraising initiative for the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation.  Executive Director Sally Kidson states “The cost of hospital equipment keeps rising and the need for state of the art equipment is real.  With the new Emergency Room and Lab expansion project nearing completion, we need to find new ways to increase our current fundraising goals.  This ride, with a goal of $150,000 to be raised, will help fill the gap between what we do now and what the need is going to be.”

Why Ride?

You ride because local healthcare matters to you and to the people you care about. Gran Fondo Lake Huron is about community stepping up to strengthen care close to home, ensuring our hospitals have the tools and technology needed to support patients when it matters most. Every kilometre you ride and every dollar you raise helps move healthcare forward across the Brightshores Health System region.

Over the years, this event has helped fund meaningful advancements in care, including a Mental Health and Wellness Recovery Centre, state of the art mammography equipment, MRI technology, and a CT Scanner. These investments reflect what happens when a community comes together with a shared commitment to better care.

When you ride, you are not just taking part in an event. You are helping ensure that high quality care is available for families, neighbours, and visitors, today and for years to come.
