Herbert’s Boots Proudly Pledges $50,000 to Support Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s $80 Million Because of YOU Campaign
[New Tecumseth, ON — [November 28, 2025] – Herbert’s Boots is pleased to announce it is pledging $50,000 to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Because of YOU campaign to help fund the renovation and expansion of Stevenson Memorial Hospital in New Tecumseth.
Since opening its first location in Alliston in 1958, Herbert’s Boots has worked to offer high-quality footwear and apparel, excellent customer service, and fair prices. The family-owned retailer has been an active member of the community, and this year decided to focus their contributions on supporting the vital work of Stevenson Memorial Hospital and its ongoing efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and services.
“We think it’s important to support our local hospital, and we’re happy to see Stevenson Memorial expanding to meet the needs of our growing community,” said Dieter Elsner, owner of Herbert’s Boots. “It is a service that we all use and need, and we’re grateful to be in a position to contribute where we can.”
The $50,000 donation supports Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s ambitious Because of YOU campaign, which aims to raise $80 million to enhance healthcare services in our community.
Frank Cerisano, CEO of Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation, expressed his gratitude for Herbert’s Boots’ generous support, stating, “We are incredibly thankful to Herbert’s Boots for their pledge. Contributions like theirs are vital in helping us reach our campaign goal. This exemplifies how local businesses play a pivotal role in advancing community health and supporting our hospital. Herbert’s Boots joins a growing group of community supporters dedicated to ensuring Stevenson Memorial Hospital remains a trusted healthcare resource for years to come.”
The Because of YOU campaign is a bold and ambitious effort to raise $80 million through community support to help build the future of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. This transformational project will triple the size of our hospital, providing expanded emergency care and advanced diagnostic imaging, including Stevenson’s first MRI suite, modern inpatient facilities, and specialized surgical services, all designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our growing community. As we approach our 100th anniversary in 2028, we stand on the threshold of a new era, just as our founders did nearly a century ago. With the support of our community, we will build a hospital for today and for generations to come—Because of YOU.
Herbert’s Boots has two locations – one in Alliston and another in Innisfil at Highway 400 and Innisfil Beach Road. They carry a wide selection of western footwear and clothing, safety boots and apparel, as well as other high-quality footwear.
