In partnership with the PRHC Foundation, Dr. Boyer's family has launched a fundraising campaign to honour the longtime physician's commitment to caring for children and families throughout the region.

According to the foundation, Dr. Boyer dedicated his career to helping some of the community's youngest and most vulnerable patients, earning a reputation as a compassionate doctor and a source of support during difficult times.

Money raised through the campaign will help fund new equipment and technology for pediatric care at Peterborough Regional Health Centre, supporting the work of doctors, nurses and healthcare staff who continue to care for local children and families.

As part of the initiative, Dr. Boyer's daughter, Adrienne, has designed a collection of t-shirts and tote bags inspired by his well-known love of Hawaiian shirts. The items are being sold through Ricart, with all proceeds benefiting the PRHC Foundation.

The fundraising effort also ties into Hawaiian Shirt Day at PRHC, which takes place June 24 and serves as a day to celebrate and remember Dr. Boyer's legacy. Organizers say shirt and tote orders will be available until June 12 at 1 pm to ensure supporters receive their items in time for the event.

The family says the campaign is an opportunity to honour Dr. Boyer's life's work while investing in the future of pediatric care for generations to come.
