NEWS RELEASE
HOSPICE GEORGIAN TRIANGLE FOUNDATION
*************************
The Hospice Georgian Triangle Foundation (HGTF) has pivoted to find a fun, new way for our community to care for our friends and neighbours in South Georgian Bay when they need it most.
Enter “Care for Our Home from Yours”, sponsored by Blue Mountain Resort. With the restrictions on group gatherings and having to cancel the annual Care Gala, HGTF has been running a month-long campaign to continue to raise funds to meet today’s and tomorrow’s critical need for top-quality and free palliative care services both at Campbell House and in the community. And they are in the final countdown for the “greatest event you will never attend!”
There are several ways you can support from the comfort of your own home this year. Tickets for an online 50/50 draw, sponsored by Tatham Engineering, are available right up until draw time at 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 30. The jackpot is almost $6,000 and still growing.
There is also an incredible lineup of silent auction items available for bidding through the online platform, sponsored by Wayne and Maureen Pitman. Very generous local businesses and individual sponsors have provided items that will appeal to everyone. The online silent auction will also close at 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 30. Donations to HGTF, in lieu of buying a ticket to the event, are always welcome.
Everything will wrap up with a short, online broadcast, beginning at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30, hosted by The Peak FM’s John Eaton and HGT Foundation Director Janet Fairbridge.
Details for all of the above, including a link for the live broadcast, can be found at: www.Care4HGT.com.
Hospice Georgian Triangle’s Interim Executive Director Trish Rawn added: “Your financial support is providing care for the 1,000th patient and their family at Campbell House this week, and all of the patients and families to come. On behalf of them, thank you for continuing to make this possible.”
Please make your donation now and join in at 8 p.m. on Sept. 30 at www.Care4HGT.com.
