RE/MAX Fort McMurray in support of community health care
Fort McMurray, Alberta – The Northern Lights Health Foundation is receiving a generous gift of $25,000 from RE/MAX Fort McMurray in support of community health care in Wood Buffalo. The funds were raised this past summer as part of RE/MAX Fort McMurray’s 2014 Charity Golf Classic. The Health Foundation will host a cheque presentation on Monday, Oct. 6 at the RE/MAX Fort McMurray office.
Through their generous gift, RE/MAX helps transform local health care through their support of the Health Foundation. The funds will support the Health Foundation’s efforts to enhance the quality of health and wellness services for those who live and work within the region.
