Grace Hospital Foundation celebrates Pearl McGonigal for a Lifetime of Service

June 17, 2019 by Grace Hospital in Foundation News

Grace Gala 2019 raises $108,000

WINNIPEG, MB – 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.

Happy National Donut Day!

The Foundation was thrilled to bite down on a delicious donut provided by members of Grace Hospital neighbours Community Ventures. Community Ventures is a Salvation Army agency that provides day programming for adults living with intellectual disabilities. The Grace Hospital used to be a Salvation Army run hospital?

Did you know National Donut Day originated in the United States in 1938 by the Salvation Army to honour volunteers "Doughnut Lassies" who served donuts to soldiers during the First World War?
