A small celebration will be held today to mark a milestone for Irving Oil's "Fuel the Care Program".
Over the past eight years, the company has assisted 25,000 families in Atlantic Canada and New England by helping with some of their fuel costs to and from hospitals. That adds up to $1.7 million dollars in gift card donations.
Irving Oil also makes yearly donations to several hospitals to continue research which to date totals $350,000 dollars.
The day will be marked with speeches from families and health-care workers involved with the program starting at 11:30am at the Golden Ball.
