The club and the foundation will each make donations of $10,000 over the next five years.
The Hearthstone Community Campaign is the committee that is fundraising for the new nursing home. Buck said that they recently received an anonymous $500,000 donation from an individual who wants to see a new nursing home constructed in Estevan.
The campaign needs to collect $8 million before the provincial government will give the project the green light. The estimated cost of a new nursing home is $40 million.
