Greetings!
As the school year winds down for students and summer is almost here, the Foundation is preparing for warm weather events in the months ahead.
I hope you will take a minute to read about two special recent events in this edition of Community Giving. The Gates Open home & garden tour and donor celebration for the Heart of it All campaign were great successes.
On behalf of everyone here at the Foundation, we wish you all a safe and happy time of family this summer, at home or on your travels.
Best regards,
Chad Hanna, President & CEO, Rouge Valley Health System Foundation

The community donors to the campaign were invited to a special celebration June 17 at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, where a plaque recognizing their generosity was unveiled.

First Gates Open  enjoys beautiful weather, homes
The homes of the Scarborough Bluffs area are well known for their unique architecture, beautiful gardens, and envied for their spectacular views of Lake Ontario. A select number of these properties swung wide their front gates to welcome guests of the first Gates Open Home & Garden Tour, June 15, in support of the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation.
Pictured: Participants check out the beautiful view and landscaping of the Soknacki residence, one of eight stops on the first-ever tour.
