**ABOUT BOWMANVILLE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION**

We are the fundraising arm of Bowmanville Hospital. Our mission is to “Enhance donor relationships to fund hospital projects and equipment not supported by the government.” To meet the planned transformation of our hospital, the Foundation has embarked on the largest capital and fundraising campaign in its history. To give it the focus and momentum that this critical endeavor requires, the Foundation launched the “We Care, We Can - Investing in Our Health Care” campaign to inspire the community to help support capital improvements and essential medical equipment needs for the Bowmanville Hospital. Our two fundraising goals are to raise:
Phase One: To raise the community share of the estimated capital costs of the hospital redevelopment and expansion project; and

Phase Two: Establish robust annual fundraising program after the capital campaign is complete.

Our community fundraising will have a singular focus: providing the latest equipment, tools, technology and infrastructure that will directly enhance the quality of health services available at Bowmanville Hospital.
