The Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) Foundation will be launching its sixth annual Read4BCHS event, a readathon fundraiser in support of local Pediatric and Infant Care on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
“Over the past five years, with the support of our sponsors, readers and donors, we have raised over $100,000 to benefit the care of the youngest patients at the Brant Community Healthcare System” said Dr. Lee Ferrao, BCHS Foundation Board Chair. “These funds have helped to purchase pediatric equipment and renovate the Pediatric Acute Referral Service (PARS) Clinic at the Brantford General Hospital, which sees over 3,000 visits annually.”
This year’s event will run from February 4 through February 26, 2025 and participants are asked register by contacting Haidee at haidee.scheers@bchsys.org.
Read4BCHS encourages all participants to follow the 4R’s- read, record, raise, and get rewarded! Whether you are an individual, a class, or a community group, anyone who enjoys reading is encouraged to participate.
“Everyone is invited to have fun reading while helping pediatric patients” added Heather Wilson, BCHS Foundation past Chair and Read4BCHS committee member. “Reading takes us to all sorts of amazing places and connects us to new ideas and friends.”
