“I urge both individuals and businesses to consider joining me in supporting this incredible facility,” says Dr. Tom Breneman, Chair of the BUILD fundraising campaign which helped to build the HLC, a community sports and recreation complex on the BU campus featuring 2 gymnasiums, a state-of-the-art fitness room, sports medicine centre, and the largest indoor track in the Westman area.

BRANDON, MB – One of Canada’s prominent family-owned companies is making the largest single private donation to-date to the Healthy Living Centre at Brandon University (BU), a gift which will reach $500,000 when fully realized by matching contributions from the community.
The Richardson Foundation – the giving arm of James Richardson & Sons, Limited and Affiliated Companies across Canada: Richardson International, Tundra Oil & Gas Limited, Richardson GMP Limited and Richardson Centre Limited – has donated $250,000 and has also pledged to match every dollar raised by BU in 2014 for the Healthy Living Centre (HLC), up to an additional $250,000. In recognition of this generous gift, the main gymnasium in the state-of-the-art HLC will be named Richardson Gymnasium.
