A planned children’s treatment centre in Chatham-Kent has received a major funding boost, thanks to a local utility provider.
Entegrus has donated $200,000 to the Butterfly Building Campaign of the Children’s Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent (CTCF-CK)
"Entegrus takes great pride in its support for the Children's Treatment Centre,” said Jim Hogan, president and CEO of Entegrus. “It is both our honor and privilege to be a long-time supporter. We are grateful to be able to contribute $200,000 towards their campaign to help ensure the centre's ever-growing needs are met with the support they deserve."
The donation has helped the centre get even closer to its $10-million campaign fundraising goal.
The campaign is aimed at developing a new and improved 50,000 square foot facility to meet the growing needs of the community.
"Entegrus goes beyond providing electricity,” said Kevin Owen, chair of the centre's board foundation. "Without dedicated donors such as Entegrus, this new building would remain a vision. Their support will play a crucial role in turning this vision into reality."
The centre provides therapy and services to children with special needs, developmental delays, and disabilities.
