Brockville – The Brockville & District Hospital Foundation (BDHF) announced on Tuesday that their 4th annual Ride the River in support of the Brockville General Hospital raised a ‘staggering’ $544,455.20 surpassing their goal.

The event was held on Sunday, May 26th starting out from Brown’s Bay.

“A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the participants, volunteers, donors, and our dedicated planning committee. Special shoutout to our amazing anonymous donor who pledged to donate $2,000 per registered rider!” said the BDHF in a post on their Facebook page.

This year’s goal was $500,000 and every donation will directly support the purchase of new beds, for the hospital ensuring comfort and care for patients in need.
