Foundation Team
The team at St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation supports the advancement of St. Mary’s through active fundraising for research, equipment and patient care initiatives.
Led by Cynda P. Heward, CFRE, a certified Fundraising Executive – of which there are only 20 in the entire province – the team represents over 30 years of fundraising experience and upholds the Foundation’s strong reputation for quality of service and performance.
