Thank you

The Drumheller Area Health Foundation would like to thank all those who made our 2011 ‘Art in the Badlands’ successful. We were able to earn over $10,000 for the Pediatrics Vital Signs Monitor for the Drumheller Medical Centre. Thank you Drumheller for all you do.

Particular thanks go to the contributors to our fundraiser.

This year the proceeds will go toward the purchase of a Pediatrics Vital Signs Monitor

It is a large 'throw' approximatetly 66 x 82 inches in size. We have quilts sized from Crib to King. Be sure to check out these lovely items. They, too, will be offered for auction and have been donated with no reserve! Be sure to arrive early enough to get a bidder's number so you can participate.
