Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our donors and the extraordinary leadership of the Dave and Ann Trick Family Foundation the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation’s 2025 Spring/Summer MRI Appeal was a tremendous success.
The Trick family has been a steadfast supporter of our hospital for many years. Their remarkable generosity has already made an incredible impact on the MRI Campaign, and this year they stepped forward once again with their second matching gift.
Their $60,000 matching challenge inspired 183 donors to take action, contributing $147,667 . With the match, this brought the total raised to an incredible $207,667.
Because of the community’s response, and the Trick family’s continued commitment to local healthcare, we have now raised just over $3,790,000 for the MRI to date.
The MRI is now operational and already transforming patient care, helping reduce travel, shorten wait times, and provide timely diagnoses right here at home. Every scan performed is a reminder of what we can achieve together when a community rallies behind its hospital.
While we celebrate this milestone, the journey isn’t finished. The MRI is a significant investment, and continued support will ensure that this lifesaving technology is fully funded and sustained for years to come. Each donation moves us closer to that goal and strengthens healthcare for families across our region.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.
