NEWS RELEASE
MEAFORD HOSPITAL FOUNDATION
*************************
The Meaford Harbour 5K Run/Walk is postponed due to COVID-19.
Our new date is set for Saturday Sept. 19 with hope that we can celebrate our 24th annual event.
The health of each of you and our community is our first priority and we are actively monitoring the Public Health Agency of Canada’s recommendations regarding the pandemic, including those on physical distancing.
What we do know is that raising funds for mental health initiatives is important and we are continuing to proceed with the planning phases of our event. We urge you to register, start training if you have not already done so, and start your fundraising to help us to raise funds in support of our area hospitals.
What we do not know is what the situation will be closer to Sept. 19 but we have been exploring new innovative ways to unite our participants, donors, and sponsors of the event, virtually. We are continuing to keep a close eye on the situation and will share updates with each of you when we have information.
We just have to be open to change and creative in how we make this all happen!
As you can understand, suppliers are having a difficult time accessing t-shirt manufacturers so we thought this would be a great way to celebrate the years gone by. We hope you will dig out your favorite Harbour Run T and wear it to this year’s event. We appreciate how hard you work to raise funds to support our event and we want to continue to show our appreciation as much as we can but, this year just might look a bit different.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
Now more than ever we need your support! Please join us on Sept. 19 in support of Mental Health.
