Two Big Fundraisers

The one constant theme over our 63 years of fundraising for Stewart Memorial Hospital has been the generosity of our supporters.  We've held many different types of events over the years, but raising funds is only possible when people come out and give us their money!  It's a simple transaction, but powerful.

Our two recent fundraisers have raised a lot of money for our hospital and that's what we are all about!  The Sweetheart Dance, moved from near Valentine's Day to March due to a nasty February storm, brought in $1,200.  Then our Spring Concert earlier this month raised $1,100!  What an amazing show of support from our community, and thank you to everyone who gave so generously.

The Spring Concert was a really fun evening filled with great music and lots of laughs!  Many thanks to the members of Harmony Mill, The Sisters,  Roy MacCaull, Wanda (Annie) Dunbar, and our special guests from The Britannia Hall Players (and great Auxiliary members all) Kim Dennis, Cindy Gorrill and Pam MacKinnon - their Mabel, Sally and Gertie were a big hit!

We also had lots of people who generously donated items for raffles, door prizes, and fudge and water sales.  Thanks to all!

Details about our next fundraiser will be coming soon - we'll give you a break for now!
