A pair of Canucks are making news off the ice tonight. These Sedin Twins have donated $1.5M. Teresa Tam has the story.
“Justin, the BC children’s hospital foundation is trying to build a new hospital for kids in this province and tonight they got some major help from a couple of hokey heroes.”
Known for their place on the ice, it’s the one they made off the ice that’s got people talking. The Sedin twins along with their wives donated 1.5M dollars to BC’s children hospital. It’s something they did quietly. Though they along with the rest of the Canucks are well know for their work with kids in the province.
“Two of their three children were born in Vancouver or in BC and I think, you know, I’m guess it will be wrong to suggest they don’t have strong connection to British Columbia after ten years of living here.”
The hospital is in the midst of the 201M dollar campaign to build a brand new facility. This is the PD intensive care unit of the hospital right now. Not enough space or privacy for parents caring for some of the sickest kids in BC. The money from the Sedins will focus on building a new ICU and provide diagnostics and imaging equipment.
“You know, also the critical importance with this gift is the profile of Daniel and Henrik, I mean they are super heroes in BC and the fact they’ve decided to make this gift not only gives our campaign great credibility but also helps us arise awareness.”
Fans say this active generosity makes them true super stars.
“You know that’s great to see them hokey players, I mean just create more pride for the Canucks team.”
“They backs to the communities and they just more than hokey players, go out actually do something for the community, especially when people are sick.”
It’s the third largest donation from individual for this campaign. The Sedins were out of town but will back tomorrow. And on on Friday.
