THUNDER BAY — The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation is launching a campaign to raise $44,000 in 24 hours to fund vital equipment on Giving Tuesday .

“Our community has been incredibly generous on Giving Tuesday year after year,” says Lindsay Doran-Bonk, manager of digital engagement for the foundation, iln a news release. “We’re so grateful for the continued support that helps us provide life-saving equipment and services for our hospital.
Giving Tuesday is a global 24-hour fundraising event, which marks the official start of the giving season, following Black Friday and Cyber Monday.The public can donate online, by phone between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. , by texting ‘vital’ to 20222 for a $10 donation, or visiting the hospital next to the Grand Christmas Tree in the lobby.
