MOOSE JAW — The Moose Jaw Health Foundation's (MJHF) traditional 18-foot (5.49 metre) Christmas tree has returned to the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital earlier this week.
The tree was sponsored by the JGL Group of Companies for $25,000 during this year's Festival of Trees auction on Oct. 19 and now adorns the hospital's front lobby as of Nov. 18.
Proceeds from the sponsorship will go toward the purchase of life-saving surgical equipment including advanced bronchoscopy instruments to provide care to patients suffering from COPD, lung cancer, and similar medical conditions.
“It’s truly humbling to know that one event can impact so many people in this community each year. It literally impacts thousands of people," the MJHF's director, Kelly McElree, said about the Festival of Trees and each year's sponsors during an earlier interview.
