Birch Mountain Enterprises LP Joins Northern Lights Health Foundation to Support Healthcare in the Region as Title Sponsor for Hospital Bed Races
March 31, 2023. Fort McMurray, AB – Northern Lights Health Foundation (NLHF) is excited to announce that Birch Mountain Enterprises LP (BME) – a Proud Member of Fort McKay Group of Companies – has joined them as the title sponsor for their annual Hospital Bed Races. This major event is held every year to raise funds for healthcare in the region, and this sponsorship commitment from BME will allow NLHF to make a larger impact in the community.
“We are thrilled to have BME join us as the title sponsor of our bed races,” said Cindy Amerongen, NLHF Executive Director. “Their commitment to the community and support of local healthcare is truly inspiring, and we are grateful for their partnership.”
This year’s bed races will be held on Saturday, September 23 at 11 a.m. at the Snye Point, Fort McMurray. Teams representing local businesses, dressed in their very best “race gear” will compete in adrenalin-filled races while pushing hospital beds down the track. The top team will be crowned 2023 Hospital Bed Race Champion and take home the coveted Golden Bed Pan Trophy. The event raises money for the Foundation’s mission of improving access and quality of healthcare in the region.
The Foundation also expresses its appreciation to Raymond James as they pass the baton to BME, having been the sponsor of the event over the past five years. “Raymond James has been an integral part of our success since the inception of this event,” said Amerongen. “Their generosity has allowed us to continue making an impact on healthcare in our community and we are forever grateful.”
“We have been proud to be a part of an event that not only provides fun and entertainment, but also helps ensure the health and wellbeing of our community,” said Khoa Nguyen, Financial Advisor from Raymond James. “It has been a rewarding experience to witness how the hard work and dedication of so many people can have such a positive impact on our local area.”
BME Managing Partner, Chris Wilson, shared his enthusiasm about joining forces with NLHF. “We are honoured to join NLHF as title sponsor for this important event,” he said. “Here at BME, we take immense pride in contributing to the well-being of our community by actively promoting initiatives that enhance healthcare accessibility and excellence across the region.”
