A bi-annual W.E. Care for Kids fundraiser has exceeded expectations.
The 5th "Under the Big Top Kids Gala" raised more than $140,000.
Operations Manager Ashley Weeres says the goal was $100,000.
She says the money will be used to purchase a Difficult Intubation System for Windsor Regional.
Weeres says the system is used to secure airways in paediatric patients.
She says plans are already underway for the 2022 event.
"We love this event, we love seeing the joy it brings to the kids faces and more importantly it raises some important money for vital pieces of equipment for our community," says Weeres.
More than 650 people attended the event on Friday February 7th.
It was held at the Caboto Club and featured local acrobatic and circus acts.
