Foundation President and CEO Tim Cameron tells CHSJ News their campaign to raise 680 thousand dollars is unprecedented in that the majority of donations have been from individuals.
He says about 70 per cent of the money they've raised so far has been from individuals as opposed to corporations.
Cameron says the Foundation had a much better mail campaign this year than normal as well.
He says despite being about 150 thousand dollars short of their goal, some of the equipment for the new lab has already been ordered.
