March For Children Fundraiser Just 11 Days Away

The Rotary Club of Campbell River’s annual March for Children is fast approaching.

The walk is taking place Saturday, February 11th to raise funds to purchase equipment for the maternity department at the Campbell River Hospital.

Last year, the funds raised went towards the purchase of an Avalon Fetal Monitor, which allows for those in labor to get up and walk around while being continuously monitored. This year’s funds will be used to complete that purchase.

Anyone wishing to donate can give their donation to one of several volunteers who will be stationed at Alder at 2nd, Dogwood at 13th, St. Ann’s at Shopper’s Row, the Ken Forde Boat Ramp in Willow Point, and the walking path at Rotary Park from 10 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on the 11th.

For those without cash, there will be a debit tap machine at the Ken Forde boat ramp for those in vehicles, Rotary Beach Park for foot traffic and in the parking lot next to St. Ann’s and Shopper’s Row.

Donations can be made through the Hospital Foundation’s website at Campbell River Hospital Foundation.
