1998 Mining for Miracles campaign launched

The 11th annual Mining for Miracles campaign is under way in British Columbia.

Over the past 10 years, the campaign has raised and contributed almost $3.5 million to B. C.’s Children’s Hospital Foundation. These funds have been used to purchase hospital equipment and help children throughout B.C.

The campaign is led by a team of volunteers within the mining industry who are contacting companies by letter and telephone to solicit contributions.

The fund-raiser wraps up on May 31, with the presentation of a cheque during the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon.
