Canadian Tire Pembroke Continues Commitment To Local Health Care With Gift of Humanity Sponsorship

21/9/2026

The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation is pleased to recognize Barb and Ray Pilon of Canadian Tire Pembroke for their continued commitment to local health care through a Gift of Humanity Sponsorship in support of the 21st Annual Black & White Gala.
 
For many years, the Pilons and Canadian Tire Pembroke have been valued supporters of the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation, helping advance local health care initiatives and strengthen care for patients and families throughout the region. Their ongoing generosity reflects a deep commitment to the community they have proudly served for many years.
 
Ray and Barb Pilon shared why continuing to support local health care remains important to them:
 
"The hospital plays an important role in the lives of so many people throughout our community, and we're proud to continue supporting the Foundation and its efforts to strengthen local health care. Giving back has always been important to our family and our business, and we're grateful for the opportunity to contribute to initiatives that will benefit patients and families today and for years to come."
Black & White Gala Chair Dr. Christy Natsis expressed her appreciation for the Pilons' longstanding support.
 
"Without a sense of caring, there is no sense of community. Thank you to Barb, Ray, and the entire team at Canadian Tire Pembroke for their continued commitment to local health care. Their generosity helps strengthen the care available to local patients and families while moving the Together, We Care Campaign forward. Community-minded supporters like the Pilons help ensure that excellent health care remains available close to home."
 
Now in its 21st year, the Black & White Gala remains one of the Foundation's signature fundraising events, bringing together sponsors, donors, and community leaders in support of local health care. Funds raised through this year's Gala will support the Together, We Care Campaign and help complete fundraising efforts for the hospital's new CT Scanner, an essential diagnostic tool that will serve thousands of patients across the region each year.
 
Foundation Executive Director Roger Martin highlighted the impact of the Pilons' continued support.
 
"Barb and Ray have been wonderful supporters of the Foundation for many years, consistently giving back to the community through both their business and their personal commitment to local causes. Their generosity has made a meaningful difference to health care in our region, and we are grateful to recognize Canadian Tire Pembroke as a Gift of Humanity Sponsor for this year's Black & White Gala."
 
The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation extends its sincere thanks to Barb and Ray Pilon and the entire team at Canadian Tire Pembroke for their continued investment in local health care and for helping make the 21st Annual Black & White Gala possible.
