Southlake Foundation

Southlake Foundation Southlake Health Foundation inspires investment from our community in leading edge care, close to home. www.southlakefoundation.ca

Since its inception, Southlake Foundation has granted $93.8 million to Southlake, transforming our Hospital from a small regional Hospital to the world class healthcare facility that it is today. Funds have been generated for medical equipment, capital projects, patient programs and staff education - all for the goal of creating a hospital that meets the expectation of excellent outcomes for our family members, friends and neighbours. At Southlake, we are committed to creating an environment in which our patients can have the confidence of expert care delivered by a compassionate team who truly puts the patient first. A lofty goal perhaps, but one to which our commitment is unwavering. At the Southlake Foundation, we believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success. With that in mind, we were one of the founding members of Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program, a national program which requires that charities adhere to the highest standards of accountability in their relationships with donors. As a donor, it is important for you to know that a portion of your gift will be allocated to cover Foundation expenses necessary to raise millions of dollars annually and to help support the Hospital’s priority needs not covered by other funding. The Southlake Foundation Board establishes and monitors the allocation amount as part of the annual budgeting process. Our sincere appreciation to the generous donors who share our vision. It is through your support that we can improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients and their families every day.

Southlake Health Foundation is thrilled to announce that we are the proud recipients of Charity Village’s 2025 ‘Best Fundraising Campaign’ Award for our Homeward Campaign, supporting the Maternal Child Program at Southlake Health.

The award honors Canadian non-profit or charitable organizations that have run an outstanding fundraising campaign, demonstrating creativity, effectiveness, strong community or donor engagement, and impact that stands out within the non-profit sector.

This national recognition would not have been possible without the outstanding support of our leadership volunteers, our Homeward Campaign lead volunteers, Chris and Wendy Neal, and our close partnership with the outstanding physicians (like Dr. Charmaine van Schaik and Dr. Peter Watt), clinicians, and staff of Southlake’s Maternal Child Program.

Together, with our communities, we raised over $2.5 million for Southlake’s Maternal Child Program, upgrading and replacing integral day-to-day equipment like our fleet of infant bassinets, to the most advanced infant care stations for vulnerable babies in our NICU. The impact of this campaign continues to be felt each day as babies and their families have access to state-of-the-art equipment, right here, close to home.

We’re so grateful for this recognition that speaks to power of partnerships, community, and the meaningful impact we can achieve together, supporting leading edge care at Southlake Health.

We are thrilled to share that long-time Southlake Health Foundation leadership volunteer, Philanthropy Cabinet member, and Southlake supporter Rick Reininger was recognized last week as the Town of Newmarket’s 2025 Citizen of the Year! https://bit.ly/4iEA8H6

Rick has significantly invested his time, talent, and generosity in Southlake Health for over 20 years. He has inspired grassroots support in the community by serving on several fundraising committees, including campaigns that have raised millions of dollars for hospice care and diagnostic imaging.

Most recently, Rick led Southlake Health Foundation’s Men’s Health Initiative, which raised $1.7 million to support the urgent equipment needs of Southlake’s Urology Program. As a key member of our Philanthropy Cabinet since its inception in 2018, Rick is a volunteer ambassador for Southlake Health, sharing his insights and making connections as a long-standing business and community leader.

We are so grateful to Rick for his years of service and support of Southlake, and extend a huge congratulations to him for this well-deserved recognition.
