“Our members were eager to support this project to give children in our community the lifesaving treatment they deserve while sparing families the emotional and financial burden of seeking care far from home,” said Robin Creeden, Keene Lions Club Member. “We were proud to support the building of PRHC twenty years ago with a donation of $30,000 and we are equally proud to support the $60 million campaign of the PRHC Foundation with a pledge of $30,000 as we choose to design our own healthcare future.”

“The Keene Lions is a small club from a small rural community,” said Marion Burton, Keene Lions Club president. “People from this area support our fund raising events throughout the year such as the May long weekend Toll Road, weekly community bingo, Delta Bingo and our food trailer fish and chicken frys. The Lions’ motto is “We Serve” so to support families in our community by supporting our local regional hospital is a perfect fit.”

Lions for Pediatric Cancer Care is a campaign for Lions clubs in Districts A3 and A16 and reaches out to Clubs in Northumberland, Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes regions.
