EDS

EDS employees know that a pair of jeans can save lives. For two years, they donated $2 to The Ottawa Hospital for the right to wear jeans on Fridays. These donations, along with additional gifts, have added up to $52,000!

This generous gift has helped the Hospital purchase a new ventilator—an essential tool used on almost every patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). (Read about Duke Halik, who lived on ventilators for two months after being stabbed in the stomach.) By helping buy this vital piece of equipment, EDS employees have made a significant gift that is saving lives every day.
