Find the fun in fundraising tomorrow when the annual Radiothon for the Shuswap Lake General Hospital Foundation rolls out at Save-On Foods from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The foundation is hoping to raise $25,000 for an infant incubator isolette, a critical piece of equipment used to keep sick newborns stable while waiting for transfer to other facilities.
This piece of equipment is needed to replace the existing isolette which was purchased nearly 20 years ago in 1995.
Along with a lineup of great local entertainment there will be the chance to win a diamond. For $10, participants can enter the Diamond Dip event by purchasing a stone from a bowl of water.
Among the 199 cubic zirconias in the bowl will be one diamond valued at over $500.
Stones can then be taken to Arthur’s Gem Set Studio in the Mall at Piccadilly on Friday or Saturday, where they will be tested.
There will be hotdogs and burgers available, as well as other treats.
Two nurses from the hospital will be on hand to conduct blood pressure and blood sugar tests.
DJ Patrick Ryley will keep the fun flowing throughout the day.
Those who are unable to attend can still make donations for the isolette by phoning in to the Radiothon number which will be broadcast from the Radiothon beginning tomorrow morning, or by going online at www.shuswaphospitalfoundation.org.
