As we reflect on the overwhelming generosity of our community during the Voices of Hope campaign, one word comes to mind: gratitude.
At the end of 2024, donors added their voices and spoke up loudly for patient care and medical research at St. Boniface Hospital. By making a gift to an area that means the most to them, our matching partners inspired countless others to do the same. Staff, physicians, volunteers, and visitors across the Hospital felt their enthusiasm, kindness, and warmth.
Despite a challenging postal strike, our donors found creative ways to stand with us. Our community’s generosity was magnified – tripled, in fact – through the incredible support of our matching donors.
Together, you touched the lives of so many, powering compassionate patient care and groundbreaking research. Your generosity touched every corner of the Hospital, from neonatal care, to women’s heart health research, to cardiac care, and beyond. Every unit at St. B will feel the incredible impact.
As 2025 begins, we celebrate the profound difference our donors make every day. Your kindness reminds us of the strength, compassion, and faith within our community; values that inspired the humble beginnings of our Hospital.
“We are so grateful for the support and partnership of this community,” said Karen Fowler, President and CEO of St. Boniface Hospital Foundation. “When you make a gift to an area that means the most to you, you have a profound impact on the tens of thousands of patients and families who depend on St. B each year. Thank you.”
A special thank you goes to our anonymous Voices of Hope campaign matching donor, and our generous weekly matching donors: Ashley Gibson and Mark Tremaine, Winpak Ltd., Linda and Bert Smith, Maple Leaf Construction Ltd., Bell MTS Volunteers, and an additional anonymous donor. Your dedication to advancing compassionate care and cutting-edge research will leave a lasting impact on countless lives.
Thank you for speaking up with us and being the heartbeat of St. B. Together, we can build a brighter, healthier future.
