Fundraising Campaign

Shaping the Future Together

The Témiscaming Auxiliaries Foundation is a charitable organization that raises money to help patients hospitalized in the CSSS de Témiscaming-et-de-Kipawa, dependent senior citizens, the disabled, and the chronically ill living in our region.

The Foundation's objective for 2009-2010 was to raise $100,000 for projects aimed at improving our quality of life. To date, the Foundation has successfully raised $50,000 to upgrade the hospital's pharmaceutical services. The next $50,000 raised will be used to provide seed money for the assisted-living facility for dependent senior citizens project.

The money raised by the Foundation will make it possible to provide high-tech equipment and modern care to the Témiscaming-et-de-Kipawa community. With the support of generous donors, the Foundation helps ensure that the best health care is always within reach for the entire community.
