Local car enthusiasts put the pedal to the metal in 2023, making a large donation to Windsor Regional Hospital.
The Corvette Club of Windsor held their annual waterfront car show this year and raised $26,000 for The Paediatric Oncology Satellite Unit at Metropolitan Campus.
"We want to thank the Corvette Club of Windsor. The impact has been immense," says Cristina Naccarato, Executive Director, Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation.
The funds will support the purchase of specialized equipment, toys and video games for children.
"This allows us to make the POGO environment more welcoming for children and families when they're here for treatment," says Devon Lanspeary, Program Manager of Paediatrics.
The Corvette Club of Windsor arranged a drive-by parade, Thursday.
Dozens of Corvettes did laps around the Met Campus to thank frontline staff.
"We're so thankful we've been able to do this," says Lynda Reaume, Waterfront Show Coordinator, Corvette Club of Windsor.
"We already have donations for next year."
To date, the club has raised $106,000 for Paediatric Oncology at Windsor Regional Hospital.
Paediatric Oncology is an outpatient clinic that sees children up to the age of 18 following their tertiary cancer care.
