Prince George, B.C.-  The Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation has received a donation from Shoppers Drug Mart for  women’s health programs.

The $2860 dollars came from the Pine Centre Shoppers Drug Mart “Tree of Life” campaign.  The  campaign  offers an opportunity for  people to donate directly to charitable organizations that  are  aimed at meeting the needs of Canadian women.

“It is a great pleasure to be actively involved in raising money to help the community", stated Richard Fung, Associate-Owner of Pine Centre Shoppers Drug Mart.

“We appreciate Shoppers Drug Mart's commitment to improving women's health through dedicated donations to Spirit of the North,” commented Judy Neiser, CEO of the Foundation. “Their leadership and generosity in this area is very exciting and we value their commitment immensely”. 

Although national in scope, the Tree of Life campaign ensures that all donations remain in the  community in which the dollars were raised.   It is a four week fundraising campaign that sells tree of life paper  icons to patients, customers, employees and the  public.

Over the last 12 years, Tree of Life has raised over $22.6 Million across Canada.

“Royal jelly” to minimize “women’s complaints” and lessen doctor visits? I didn’t know that. Peanut butter optional?
