The donation was presented to the Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH) Foundation on July 16 following this year's Charity Classic, which brought 152 golfers to the Lindsay Golf & Country Club on June 19.

Now in its fourth year, the tournament is hosted by the owners of Mariposa Electric as a way to give back to the community where they live and work. This year's event supported patient care through the RMH Foundation's WE ARE THE ROSS capital campaign.

Mariposa Electric owners Dylan Brown, Mike Gourlie and Steve Gourlie presented the donation to RMH Foundation CEO Erin Coons. Owner Dave Holliday was unable to attend.

The owners said they chose Ross Memorial Hospital as this year's charity partner because they wanted to support healthcare services that everyone may need at some point. The donation also recognizes Mariposa Electric founding owner Donnie Brown, who received care at the hospital for many years before his passing on July 1.

“Local businesses such as Mariposa Electric make our community stronger in so many ways. The owners’ commitment to local causes is just one example,” said Erin Coons, CEO of the RMH Foundation.

The $15,000 donation will help support priority projects through the RMH Foundation's WE ARE THE ROSS capital campaign, including improvements to hospital facilities, leading-edge technology and life-saving equipment for patient care.
