Kelowna dealerships are supporting the Kelowna General Hospital
For the fourth year, Kelowna Hyundai and Buy Direct Truck dealers have made a significant donation to the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre at KGH.
Operation 200 kicked off this past June and once again, the two dealerships accomplished their annual goal of selling 200 vehicles to raise $20,000, said a KGH Foundation news release.
The donation is part of an ongoing commitment to eventually raise $100,000 for the purchase of life-saving equipment and patient care items for the IHSC, which provides advanced cardiac care and surgical services to patients who, in the past, would have had to travel outside the region, the release said.
Advancing cardiac care locally is a cause close to owner John Kot香蕉视频直播檚 heart. His daughter Jenessa, 22, was born with a heart condition.
