Bev Thoen recently presented the Humboldt District Health Foundation with an $800 donation in support of the Heliport Campaign, made in memory of her husband, Brian Thoen.
Brian had a large collection of hats, and Bev wanted to find a meaningful way to honour his memory. She decided to sell most of the collection and donate the proceeds to charitable causes that held special significance to their family.
In 2021, Brian required an emergency transfer by STARS Air Ambulance from the Humboldt District Hospital Emergency Department to Saskatoon. The Thoen family will always be grateful for STARS’ quick response and the critical care they provided.
Through this thoughtful gesture, Bev is honouring Brian’s memory while helping support the future of emergency patient transport close to home.
Thank you, Bev, for turning something so meaningful into a lasting gift that will make a difference in the lives of others.
