Save-On-Foods has raised nearly $2 million for the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation over the last 12 months.

Company president Darrell Jones recently signed a cheque worth more than $1.9 million for the foundation instead of presenting it during the Miracle Weekend telethon, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The money was raised through hot dog sales, barbecues, the Round Up for Kids campaign, Spin the Wheel, Jeans Day and various local events.

“Although things are different this year, we still have a lot to celebrate when it comes to making a difference in the lives of British Columbians,” Jones said in a press release. “Together, with our generous customers and supplier partners, our team members went the extra mile over the past year to raise $1.9 million for BC Children’s Hospital.

“I am so proud of their inspiring commitment to the health of the youngest members of our communities.”

Save-On-Foods has more than a dozen locations in the Thompson Okanagan.
