Save-On-Foods marks completion of $15 million donation to BC Children’s Hospital

Who: Save-On-Foods

What: The Pattinson Food Group-owned grocer celebrated the completion of its $15 million pledge to BC Children’s Hospital on Tuesday (Sept. 24).

Save-On-Foods is now the hospital’s largest cumulative giving corporate partner.

In 2016, the grocer made its pledge to raise $15 million for the hospital within 10 years. 

Funds from this pledge were committed to the hospital’s equipment needs and to building Canada’s first in-hospital pediatric walk-in immunization clinic, which opened its doors in 2017.

The donation was generated in partnership with the company’s customers, business and supplier partners, and team members through initiatives such as Round Up for Kids.

“Achieving our pledge to raise $15 million for BC Children’s Hospital two years ahead of schedule is a major accomplishment, and one I am so thrilled to be part of,” said Save-On-Foods president Darrell Jones in a release. “This milestone was made possible by millions of people–our incredible team members, generous customers, and amazing supplier and business partners–and together, we’ve helped enable the experts at BC Children’s Hospital to provide their life-changing care and research. Thank you to each and every person who helped Save-On-Foods achieve our pledge.”
