North Battleford, SK - Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation is excited to announce a new sponsor to Festival of Trees, taking place in The Battlefords from Monday, Nov. 16^th – Friday, Dec. 4^th.  The Festival of Trees is a tradition within The Battlefords and is celebrating its 25^th year.  The 2020 Festival of Trees will see some changes due to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines, but it will once again kick-off the Christmas season within The Battlefords while raising funds to enrich healthcare.

The new Bronze sponsor, Flooring Superstores, located on 114^th Street in North Battleford opened their doors this past July and as Owner and Manager, Travis Heidel shared, “We are excited to be part of The Battlefords business community and to help enhance healthcare at BUH with this sponsorship to BUH Foundation.”

The theme of 2020 Festival of Trees is “Merry & Bright” and will provide a tour of The Battlefords and all things Christmas.  Rather than being held at one location, the beautifully decorated trees, wreathes and accent pieces will be on display and for sale throughout The Battlefords at various businesses and sponsor locations.  This provides everyone an opportunity to safely view and bid on these items, as well as support their local businesses.

You may follow the 2020 Festival of Trees “Merry & Bright” Christmas tour on BUH Foundation’s website, buhfoundation.com and through BUH Foundation’s Facebook page.  Check out the current funds raised as the “Merry and Bright” train tour chugs its way through The Battlefords as funds are raised!  If you would like to be a part of this exciting event, please contact BUH Foundation’s office, 306-446-6652 or email sherry.krelow@buhfoundation.ca. 

Funds raised from the 2020 Festival of Trees will support the new capital campaign for BUH Foundation, “Diagnostic Detectives: Solving your Health Mysteries.”  This campaign will raise funds for new equipment and technology for the lab at BUH.  Lab tests and their corresponding results are an integral part of diagnosing patients and providing the proper course of treatment.  The dedicated lab team works behind the scenes to provide results quickly and efficiently to help provide the best care possible.  The new equipment will capitalize on the knowledge and skills of the lab team and ensure they have the best to provide the best.
