Anonymous donor gives $100K to NEO Kids

An anonymous donor has given the NEO Kids a cheque for $100,000. The donation will help improve children's health care services in northeastern Ontario.

“We are greatly moved by the kindness and generosity of our anonymous donor,” said Patricia Mills, NEO Kids Foundation president, in a press release. “This gift is a testament to the amount of support we have received from the community since our launch in November.”

The NEO Kids Foundation's vision is to set a standard of excellence through support and awareness of children’s health and to ensure more children are treated closer to home.

“I was very pleased with the news of this donation,” said Dr. Sean Murray, medical director of Health Sciences North’s Family and Child program and chief of pediatrics. “It will certainly help our programs and help to further our mission to advocate for children’s health care needs in the north.”
