PRINCE GEORGE — A major milestone when it comes to philanthropy in Prince George.

A donation Tuesday of $50,000 to support breast health imaging at the University Hospital of Northern BC. has helped the Thun Family surpass $1 million in lifetime giving to causes across Prince George and northern B.C.

This newest donation advances Phase 2 of the MRI-guided breast biopsy capabilities to UHNBC. Building on the successful completion of Phase 1, which introduced non-biopsy MRI breast imaging for the first time north of Kamloops, this phase will improve access to diagnostic care for women in Prince George, Terrace, Fort St. John, and surrounding communities.

The Thun Family has supported a number of causes over the years, including:

• Child Development Centre in Prince George supporting children in need
• School District 57’s meal programs, ensuring children have access to food and learning opportunities
• Scholarships for trades and post-secondary students, helping youth pursue their goals
• Food drives for the Salvation Army of Prince George
• The Spirit of the North’s cardiac care fund, bringing critical equipment to the North
• Emergency support for local families in crisis, bridging the gap during life’s most difficult moments
