2019 Grace Gala – Grace Hospital Foundation Celebrates Pearl McGonigal for a Lifetime of Service

On May 16th, 2019, the Grace Hospital Foundation acknowledged the Hon. Pearl McGonigal, C.M., O.M., for a lifetime of service to the Grace Hospital.

Ms. McGonigal is a founding member of the Grace Hospital Foundation and was its Chair for almost two decades, retiring in 2011. Under her guidance, the Foundation raised more than $25 million in support of patient care at The Grace. In 2016, she Co-Chaired the “Tomorrow’s Grace Capital Campaign”, which raised $6 million to help build the new Emergency Department and MRI Building.

In addition to serving as the Chair of Grace Hospital Foundation, Ms. McGonigal also served two terms as the Chair of the Grace Hospital Board of Management (1987-1993). All told, Ms. McGonigal has devoted more than 40 years to the Grace.

Beyond her service to the Grace, Ms. McGonigal has been a dedicated public servant and a trailblazer, serving as the first female Deputy Mayor of Winnipeg and the first female Lt. Governor of Manitoba. Her awards and accolades are far too numerous to mention.

A host of dignitaries including the Honourable Janice Filmon, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, the Honourable Cameron Friesen, Minister of Health, the Honourable Scott Fielding, Minister of Finance and Deputy Mayor Markus Chambers joined us on May 16th to honour Ms. McGonigal.

All proceeds from the event will be donated in Ms. McGonigal’s name to support patient care at Grace Hospital, specifically the re-development of the hospital’s diagnostic imaging department.

The students were so enthusiastic!

Over $1300 gathered by these young philanthropists

On behalf of the students, thank you very much for this opportunity! The students loved giving their time to help fundraise, and moreso, experience the valuable lessons of citizenship and social responsibility. It was heart-warming to see their enthusiasm and excitement! Thanks again to the Grace Hospital Foundation!

Trans Canada Brewing Co. has once again shown their personal support to the Grace Health Care Heroes! They brewed a special batch of America Pale Ale to be enjoyed by the Grace staff, and also came to help hand it out! We still have great memories of when they also made a similar gesture last year when they brewed a batch of Blue-Beary Ale for the Grace!
Thank you, again, Trans Canada Brewing Company, for your generosity and thoughtfulness!
