NEWS RELEASE
HOSPICE SIMCOE
*************************
A Canadian Cabin Party is the theme for a unique event to raise funds for Hospice in Simcoe County.
The Jim Cuddy Trio will headline the evening, with two local bands rounding out the entertainment. Three local hospices – located in Barrie, Orillia and Penetang – will share the proceeds raised from the ticket sales, auction items and draws in support of their programs and services.
The event will take place on June 3 at The Heights on Horseshoe Valley Road.
“This fundraiser is truly one of a kind,” says one of the organizers, Trish Campbell. “From the music to the decorations, food and overall vibe, it has a real Canadiana feel to it.”
Campbell and a group of friends decided to plan the special fundraiser more than a year ago in support of the local health-care facilities that provide quality, respectful care for those living with a life-limiting illness.
A virtual silent auction will be available to the public beginning May 17 and can be found by clicking here. There is an incredible array of products and services available for bid donated by more than a 100 generous companies and individuals.
The major event corporate sponsors include Biederman Enterprises, Currie Freightliner, The Peggy Hill Team and Point to Point Communications. Additional sponsors include HGR Graham, Tim Hortons Barrie and Team Micks.
The event is nearly sold out. Those interested in attending are asked to contact [email protected].
