The Rotary Club of St. John’s Northwest is incredibly proud to present Hope Air with a cheque for $65,000 on August 6, 2026, at the Sheraton Hotel 🎉

Our Club has been a proud supporter of Hope Air for many years, helping ensure that patients can access the medical care they need—regardless of the distance they must travel.

Through this generous donation, Hope Air can continue supporting patients through every stage of their journey to wellness, providing vital assistance such as free flights ✈️ and Home Away From Home accommodations 🏡.

❤️ And these funds are staying right here in Newfoundland & Labrador, directly supporting patients and families from our province when they need it most.

We are honoured to continue our longstanding partnership with Hope Air and to see the meaningful difference Rotary support can make in the lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
