Tam Do, a Richmond business owner, and his wife have donated $120,000 to Richmond Hospital Foundation to help give back to the community.
Tam and his wife Monika Ngoc Phi Do pledged the donation together in October 2019. Monika received cancer treatments at Richmond Hospital but sadly passed away last summer, and Tam then dedicated the donation to her.
“Monika and I knew we were so blessed to have what we have, and we were so happy to lend our support to Richmond Hospital to make it even bigger and better,” said Tam – who worked his way up in the retail industry and now owns five Chevrons in Richmond – in a statement.
“We wanted to show our appreciation and give something back to Richmond because this community has been so good to us.”
The $120,000 donation will go towards Richmond Hospital’s Act Now campaign, to support the construction of the Yurkovich Family Pavilion, a new acute care tower that will house, for example, a new emergency department, medical imaging centre, larger operating rooms and private inpatient rooms.
