Wayne and Debra Grund Make $1 Million Gift in Support ofProvincial Child & Youth Mental Health Initiatives
A Saskatoon couple is generously contributing $1 million to Saskatchewan’s Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation (JPCHF) in support of provincial child and youth mental health initiatives.
Wayne and Debra Grund have personal connections to pediatric mental health care and were inspired to give $1 million toward child and youth mental health programs to provide added resources for Saskatchewan’s pediatric patients.
“I want to thank Wayne and Debra Grund and their family for their generous donation; it is appreciated and inspiring,” said Mental Health and Addictions Minister, Everett Hindley. “We all want our kids to be healthy and happy. This gift will build upon our efforts to ensure that programs are available to support the well-being of children and youth, and their families, when and where they need it, particularly in rural Saskatchewan.”
“During COVID-19 we saw first hand how the children and youth of Saskatchewan were struggling,” said Wayne and Debra Grund.
