Two longstanding volunteer fundraising groups on the Island are joining forces. In 1933, 12 caring Islanders came together to form Wo He Lo, a group of volunteers committing work, help, and love to hospitalized infants in PEI. Since then, Wo He Lo has raised more than $1.1 million for the QEH Nursery and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. After 90 incredible years, Wo He Lo is combining strengths and uniting efforts with the QEH Auxiliary. Together they will serve as one volunteer organization supporting all QEH patients and staff.
Wo He Lo president Theresa Corcoran says that combining their efforts will eliminate a duplication of executive responsibilities, allowing volunteers to engage more in what we love to do – fundraise to support Island health care.
