Former Aurora Citizens of the Year Steve Hinder and Peter Van Schaik will lead fundraising efforts for Southlake Regional Health Centre into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hinder and Van Schaik were announced as co-chairs for the Southlake Regional Health Centre Philanthropy Cabinet, succeeding former chair Chris Pfaff, who remains a member of the Cabinet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the Philanthropy Cabinet is to inspire others to contribute to the local hospital while targeting potential donors as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Southlake Foundation enjoys a strong relationship with the communities served by the Southlake Regional health Centre and depends on them for support,\u201d said the Foundation in a statement. \u201cAn extraordinary group of leadership volunteers, the Philanthropy Cabinet consists of business and community leaders working in concert and partnership with staff to fundraise for Southlake. As ambassadors for Southlake, Cabinet members inspire investment from Southlake\u2019s communities \u2013 support that is crucial for providing leading-edge care for the 1.5 million residents who rely on Southlake Regional Health Centre for their healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement, Barbara Bellissimo, Chair of the Southlake Foundation Board, hailed both Hinder and Van Schaik for their \u201cstrong relationship\u201d and volunteer record with the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very grateful to be able to tap into their deep knowledge of Southlake\u2019s communities as co-chairs of our Philanthropy Cabinet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Jennifer Ritter, President & CEO of the Southlake Foundation: \u201cSouthlake Foundation\u2019s Philanthropy Cabinet is comprised of an exemplary team of community leaders who support and inspire investment to ensure Southlake is optimally helping patients for today and tomorrow. We are excited to channel Steve and Peter\u2019s talent, expertise and energy into furthering our fundraising raison d’\u00eatre through the vital support of our Philanthropy Cabinet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duo have already helped grow the cabinet, the Foundation noted, with the recruitment of five new members to the team: Jim Alexander, owner of local Tim Hortons franchises;\u00a0Louanne McGrory, President, Shiseido (Canada); Keith Loo, Founder and CEO, Skinopathy; Bruce Nanton, CIO, Moneris; and Jonathan Goodyear, Executive Chef and Director Food and Beverage, Social Membership, Magna Golf Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
