McDonagh Insurance Giving Tuesday Fundraiser Brings Thousands of Donations to the Wingham & District Hospital
To celebrate Giving Tuesday on November 29th – the kick off to the giving season – the team at McDonagh Insurance Brokers offered to match donations to the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation up to $10,000. The community responded with overwhelming generosity. The $10,000 goal was surpassed and the event raised over $56,000 for upgraded lab equipment at the Wingham & District Hospital.
This generous matching gift was made to honour long-time owner Wayne McDonagh. Wayne was a leader in the community and a true philanthropist. He served on many community committees including the Lucknow Kinsmen, minor sports, and the Wingham Hospital Board. Current Owners, Breanne Chapman, Robin Lippold and Conor McDonagh enthusiastically supported Giving Tuesday at the WDH Foundation as a way to carry on Wayne’s strongly held belief in giving back.
Owners Breanne Chapman and Robin Lippold, Wayne’s daughters, are pleased to see such an outpouring of support for the hospital. Lippold said: “For the past two years, local healthcare allowed our father to be able to spend more time doing what he loved everyday and allowed us to spend more time with him.”.
Everyone at the Wingham & District Hospital is truly humbled and awed by the incredible generosity of our community. The success of this Giving Tuesday is just another example of how much our community values quality local healthcare. Executive Director Nicole Duquette said: “We can’t thank the McDonagh family and the whole team at McDonagh Insurance enough for helping us kick off the giving season in such a spectacular way. It’s truly an honour to be part of carrying on Wayne’s legacy in this way”.
The $56,000 raised on Giving Tuesday will go towards improved testing equipment for the lab department at the Wingham & District Hospital, specifically blood and urine analyzers. Thank you to everyone who participated in Giving Tuesday and made it such a success.
Please keep in touch!
