A fundraiser hosted by the Muslim community has raised $125 G for the York Central Hospital, well-above the goal to raise $150G over a 5 year span for a blood bank analyser system.
In all, $125,000 was raised by SHIFA (Arabic for “cure”).
“The commitment of $30,000 per year was exceeded significantly by a quantum leap,” Naim Malik, event co-chairperson said.

Among the attendees were Mayor Dave Barrow, members of council & Pakistan’s consul general, Tassadaq Hussain.The event which included multi-cultural entertainment was led by Mr. Malik and Nancy Coxford, chairperson of the York Central Hospital Foundation.
