Wishing well sponsor officially recognized
It was a long time coming, however the Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) and Scott Campbell Dodge finally unveiled their new fundraising wishing well last week that replaced the well that was stolen from the lobby of the hospital in late November.
“It was a difficult time for us,” said Claudette McGuire, Executive Director of the BUH. “To think someone would steal from a charity, especially at Christmas time was quite emotional.”
However there is always a silver lining in every cloud and when the management team at Scott Campbell Dodge heard the plight of the BUH they immediately stepped up and donated the necessary funds so the organization could purchase a new wishing well.
“Recognizing Scott Campbell Dodge for their generosity is the least we could do. I mean, the day after the story aired we got a call from Trent (Gatzke) saying they were going to buy as another one,” McGuire added.
