Cavalcade Ford has donated $51,000 to the South Muskoka Hospital Foundation as part of a recent partnership initiative.
Through the initiative, the dealership pledged $500 to the foundation for every vehicle sold in August and September.
According to foundation officials, it is the dealership’s largest single gift since its first recorded donation in 1987.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who purchased a vehicle and helped make this campaign such a success,” said Will Miller, owner of Cavalcade Ford. “Our hospital serves our employees, customers, families and neighbours, so supporting it means a great deal to all of us at Cavalcade Ford. We are proud that this initiative generated a $51,000 donation and that every vehicle sold helped support better care for people across South Muskoka. We hope our campaign inspires other local businesses to find their own creative ways to support the hospital.”
Leah Walker, Foundation CEO at South Muskoka Hospital Foundation, said the gift is an “extraordinary example” of what can happen when a local business creates a new and engaging way for its customers to support healthcare.
“Cavalcade Ford supports our hospital time and again, through its Business Partner pledge, its involvement in our events and now this incredibly successful campaign,” said Walker. “We value our relationship with the Miller family and the entire Cavalcade Ford team, and we hope their leadership encourages other businesses and community members to consider how they can help.”
The foundation said the dealership’s support for the hospital extends beyond the campaign, noting that it consistently supports hospital events and community initiatives throughout the year, making it a Gold Level Business Partner.
Officials said the funds raised through the initiative will help South Muskoka Hospital Foundation provide equipment, technology and resources that government funding does not cover.
The donation comes just two days before South Muskoka Hospital Foundation’s 19th Annual Moose FM 99.5 Radiothon, taking place on October 9th, 2026, with a goal of raising $100,000 for emergency care at the hospital.
