Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation welcomes Bruce Telecom as a silver sponsor for their Gran Fondo Lake Huron fundraising event on Saturday, August 18.

“Bruce Telecom is very proud to support local healthcare," said Erin Hammond, Sales and Marketing Manager at Bruce Telecom in a Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation media release.

"We recognize that hospitals rely on contributions from local businesses and residents to help bridge the gap between government funding and the resources required to meet the needs of the community," she added.

"Our staff, friends, neighbours and customers benefit from our local hospitals and this is our way of giving back and connecting with the communities we serve in a meaningful way."

Hammond added that they were "blown away" by the success of last year's inaugural Gran Fondo event and are thrilled to be onboard.
