Harley 4 Hope

- Thank You!

Thank you to everyone that purchased tickets and attended the Harley for Hope fundraiser event! The event was a great success, with guests enjoying delicious appetizers, live music, and an entertaining “Boob Game Show” with comedian, Allison Lane.  One highlight of the evening was the reading of a heartfelt letter to ‘Cancer,’ written and recited by breast cancer survivor and Hope Calendar model, Jamie (a.k.a Miss May). Click here to read the letter.

All funds raised through the Harley for Hope event will be used to support women of central Alberta that are undergoing breast cancer treatment. Support will be provided in the form of gift certificates for gas, groceries, childcare and housecleaning. This will allow women and families to focus on treatment and recovery, and worry less about the financial implications of a cancer diagnosis.

A special thank you to Gasoline Alley Harley Davidson for generously donating the Custom Painted 2011 Harley Davidson Sportster Nightster. Without this true demonstration of philanthropy, the Harley for Hope event would not have been possible.

Gifts from the Heart

Charles and Kathleen Urch were fondly remembered in a very special way this Valentine’s Day.

Their son, Doug Urch, donated $25,000 in their honor. That gift has purchased a 5’ Memorial Garden Bench for the Garden, a 20’ cu/ft Freezer for the Recreation Therapy department and a 55” LCD Television, Oxygen concentrator, a Hoshizaki Ice/Water dispenser, a VersaCare bed, and a Magnification Machine (for those who have difficulty reading) designated to the Continuing Care Unit.

Charles was a resident of the Continuing Care unit until his passing in 2008 at the age of 96. The bench will be placed in the garden with a view of the river valley this spring when the snow is gone. The plaque says ‘Charles and Kathleen Urch’ – ‘Endless Sunsets – Perpetual Memories’ All donations to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation are administered as the family requests and, best yet, all your donated dollars stay in the Drumheller Valley to provide funding for our Healthcare needs
