The Delta Hospital Foundation is excited to announce the Royal Canadian Legion #289 - Tsawwassen's second $4,000 contribution to fund essential medical equipment at Delta Hospital.

The pledge is part of their annual "Making a Difference" sponsorship of the Foundation's two events: The Delta Hospital Golf Classic and Moonlight Gala.

The Legion's previous donation of $4,000 in March helped purchase two Holter monitors. The most recent gift of $4,000, donated on July 25th, will go towards one portable oxygen concentrator for the residents of Mountain View Manor. The portable oxygen concentrator will provide an increased oxygen supply to patients who require it, allowing them greater mobility and independence.

Since 1995, RCL #289 has generously given over $140,000 to Delta Hospital Foundation - these donations have contributed to Delta Hospital's ability to acquire a variety of vital equipment such as the 64-slice CT scan, arthroscopy surgical equipment, and most recently, the portable oxygen concentrator.

The Tsawwassen Legion president, Ken Jansons, and 1st vice-president, Gary Bain, were very pleased to present the $4,000 cheque to the hospital. "We are proud to support Delta Hospital Foundation. Through the foundation, we continue to contribute to the welfare of the veterans, youth, and members of this great community we live in."

Delta Hospital Foundation's corporate and event manager, Jackey Zellweger, said, "We're just so honoured to receive such generous and loyal support from the Tsawwassen Legion.

"This portable oxygen concentrator will truly enhance the quality of life for many residents in Mountain View Manor."
