Galalicious A NIGHT TO UNITE FOR NHH

OVER $212,000 RAISED 23 RD ANNUAL NORTHUMBERLAND HILLS HOSPITAL FOUNDATION GALA EVENT

A Message FROM THE FOUNDATION Galalicious – A Night to Unite for NHH brought our community together in a fun and social way.

Over 500 participants joined us at 13 locations across our County in a show of love and generosity towards our Hospital. This proved yet again, our community believes in its Hospital and stands with us to achieve great things.

To all who took part… Thank You When we look back at the photos from the evening, there are so many faces to see. This includes faces of those who have NEVER missed our Gala event in its 23-year history; and familiar faces of community builders who not only support NHH, but who can be seen supporting many other local causes in the name of wanting to create a stronger community. We see our sponsors, volunteers, Hospital staff, physicians, and midwives, and we see faces of some we don’t yet know (but hope to soon!). This makes us optimistic that the future is bright and excellent health care services will continue for the patients of NHH. To all our restaurants…. you nailed it! We were so impressed by your professionalism and enthusiasm for Galalicious. You pulled out all the stops and your efforts, along with those of your teams, did not go unnoticed.

To the small but organized planning committee, led by our Galalicious Chair, Bridget, and made up of Therese, Trenholm, Grace, and Laura – thank you for being our people and bringing Galalicious into focus. It makes us wonder, where would our Hospital be without its volunteers who lead with their time, talents, and heart?

Our largest auction to date was featured as part of the event, with over 125 items. There was something for everyone to bid on and that’s thanks to our generous community – to the many businesses and individuals who said “yes” when asked to participate. Thank you for making NHH a priority for your charitable support.

And lastly, we couldn’t be prouder of the Foundation staff team – Megan, Wendy, Jen, and Chelsea – who ran with every aspect of the planning and made it look effortless. Great work, team!

MESSAGE

Bridget & Doug

Galalicious 2023 was truly a Night to Unite for NHH! It brought our community together in support of our hospital in so many ways. It was more than a fundraiser, it was a way to engage our community, to partner with restaurants across our catchment area and offer fabulous food at every price point while giving back to NHH Foundation.

On November 4, 2023, over 500 attendees joined at 13 restaurants, 9 returning and 4 new – our largest gala event yet.

I must thank my fellow Gala Cabinet volunteers, who worked to make this event the great success that it was.

Thank you to Grace Rivers, for bringing in our newest restaurants; Trenholm Parker, for recruiting our very generous sponsors; Therese Brennan-Hunt, who brilliantly Chaired our Online Auction, filled with new experiences and wonderful products; and Laura McCracken Ebbrell, for offering support and guidance in her role as Foundation liaison with years of Cabinet commitment.

The Raffle, sponsored by Home Hardware Building Centres in Port Hope, Cobourg, and Brighton was a true bonus, which provided yet another way to support our hospital. Lastly, we had Fund Me, a crucial fund for the hospital’s needs for the latest in new equipment. This year two bronchoscopes were purchased.

No matter how you chose to support this year, thank you!

Galalicious is run by a committee of volunteers but mostly by the NHH Foundation’s most capable staff: Megan Fluxgold, Jen Gilmer, Chelsea Wolf, and Wendy Bridgman.

It has been an honour to serve as Chair for Galalicious 2023.

We truly did Unite for a Night for NHH.

LOVE YOUR HOME

Raffle

We were excited to bring the ‘Love Your Home’ Raffle, presented by Home Hardware Building Centres in Port Hope, Cobourg, and Brighton, back to our community this year.

Thank you to all those who purchased a raffle ticket – together, we raised more than $5,800 to support the purchase of priority medical equipment and technology at Northumberland Hills Hospital.

Participants had not one, but two chances to win this year with a grand prize of a $5,000 Home Hardware gift card, and a second place prize of a cordless Dyson vacuum, featuring the latest technology.

Congratulations to our winners!

1st prize winner: David Miller 2nd prize winner: Leslie Orpana

Melanie, Alana & Chris from Home Hardware

Fund ME

Thank you to all those who committed financially to the Fund Me auction this year. Together, we raised more than $96,000 to pay for two bronchoscopes!

Bronchoscopes are a thin tube used to look inside a patient’s lungs during a bronchoscopy. These important pieces of equipment allow clinicians to assess lung tissue, take cultures, and perform biopsies. These procedures and tests provide insights to check for infections and help clinicians best manage a patient’s care.

This is an exciting time as bronchoscopies return to our community!
