Mr. PG celebrated his recent 65th birthday by bringing a bit of extra joy to some of the young patients in the pediatric ward at UHNBC.
Thanks to an anonymous donor, the Exploration Place donated a selection of Mr. PG plush toys and train-themed gift bundles to the ward.
“Mr. PG has always represented the heart of Prince George,” said the anonymous donor.
“I wanted to celebrate his 65th birthday in a way that would bring joy to local kids and families, especially those going through a tough time. Supporting this donation felt like the perfect way to do that.”
Included in the gift bundles is a Mr. PG plush toy, train bag, engineer hat, wooden whistle, Mr. PG thumb puppet, and a child’s ticket for a ride on the Little Prince Steam Engine in Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park.
“We’re so grateful to our donor for making this donation possible and marking this milestone with kindness and care for local families,” said Exploration Place Executive Director Alyssa Leier.
“On behalf of UHNBC, our dedicated staff, and, most importantly, the children and families in our pediatrics ward, we extend our deepest gratitude to the Donor and the Exploration Place. Your generosity will touch countless lives, bringing hope, comfort, and joy to our young patients,” said Sarah Christensen on behalf of UHNBC.
“The iconic Mr. PG stuffy and train bags will undoubtedly be a huge hit with the kids, creating moments of happiness during their hospital stay.”
