Your hospital, your story: Inspire your community as a campaign ambassador

To volunteer as a Campaign for PRHC ambassador, please reach out to Valerie Gagnon, Charitable Giving Advisor, by email or call 705-743-2121, ext. 4184.

We’re looking for dedicated community members like you to make a positive difference and inspire others by becoming volunteer ambassadors for the Foundation’s Campaign for PRHC – the largest fundraising initiative in our history.

Your participation will encourage others to think about their own connections to PRHC, show them how to get involved in the campaign beyond their generous donations, help rally their colleagues and loved ones to join, and raise awareness about the incredible impact we can all make together. Volunteers and donors are at the heart of what we do. With your help as an ambassador, we can ensure that our hospital continues to deliver the exceptional care our region deserves.

There are so many ways to get involved in the campaign!

  • Share your patient or donor story
  • Volunteer or speak at events
  • Host an event
  • Organize a fundraiser
  • Create a cause marketing initiative
  • Sponsor the campaign
  • Network on behalf of the Foundation
  • Suggest another way to support the campaign

Your involvement will inspire participation and connection, fundraising for the state-of-the-art technology used to save lives, and ultimately a healthier, stronger community. This is a chance for us all to give back to the hospital our community built, that’s been here for us when it matters most.

To volunteer as a Campaign for PRHC ambassador, please reach out to Valerie Gagnon, Charitable Giving Advisor, by email or call 705-743-2121, ext. 4184.
