The 2021 Copper Project is now underway, with the ground being broken on a new custom home in the Forest Park Subdivision.
For the past two years, CopperFalls Custom Homes has been building a home and selling it off with net proceeds going towards the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.
The first year, $90,000 was allocated towards Breast Health Imaging, a Dedicated Maternal Operating room and four Ortho Video Operating Room Towers.
For the third time around, Copper Falls is hoping to beat their fundraising record of $100,000 set last year that went towards Paediatrics, Mental Health and Wellness and Cardiac Care.
From its feather fairies to sheer magenta ribbons and whimsical little frogs on lily pads, the Enchanted Forest tree graced the home of the Arlette family and delighted friends and visitors for many months.
Now the tree designed by Free Press staff for last year’s Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation fundraiser is being generously donated to a less fortunate family in what has to be a very unique recycling project.
After successfully bidding on the tree last December in the silent auction, the Arlettes wanted to put some Christmas cheer into the life of a local family in Saint Vincent de Paul’s Adopt-a-Family program. Last week they wanted no fanfare for their act of kindness. They just wanted the tree and decorations to go to a good home.
“We couldn’t be more excited and grateful for this new and improved ability to train throughout the region as a whole,” foundation CEO Judy Neiser in a press release. “With portable equipment that can be moved within the region the practical usage and scope of who can be reached is monumental.” The computer-controlled simulators are responsive and react on a second-by-second way, as well as recording information for later review. It s rare to get an anonymous and unsolicited donation of that size, Neiser said. The foundation is looking to purchase a child simulator as well for UHNBC.
