Over 10,000 Raised for Local Hospitals
Submitted by April Patry, Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation
On Saturday, September 17, the Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation Board, staff, and a hearty team of early rising volunteers served up their first annual Hospital Harvest Breakfast without a hitch. “The biggest little breakfast in the north” took place at the Wiarton Curling Club, a stones throw from all of the Wiarton Fall Fair fun. 217 hungry folks enjoyed a big breakfast while being serenaded country classics by local musicians, Brian Taylor, Brian Osborne, and Barry Diamond. Bill Strang of Lion’s Head was the lucky winner of the 50/50 draw who took home $575.50.
“I would like to sincerely thank ‘flippin’ fantastic’ volunteers and our ‘Egg-Straordinary’ title sponsor Century 21 In-Studio Realty, and “waffle-y supportive” second tier sponsors; Scott’s Industrial, and McCartney’s Property Management, as well many other local businesses who made this event possible. The fundraising breakfast raised a little over $10,000 for the Wiarton and Lion’s Head Hospitals and will definitely be back again next year,” said April Patry, BPHF Executive Director.
