Wine & Ale in the Park Raises $40,000 in support of Northumberland Hills Hospital

In Local

The Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) Foundation has good news and it’s worth sharing.

Organizers of the 11th Annual Wine & Ale in the Park have announced over $40,000 was raised – the most successful event to date.

“A result like this is only possible thanks to wonderful partnerships we enjoy in our community,” shares Megan Fluxgold, Community Engagement and Events Specialist for NHH Foundation. “Leading the way for the 11th year, we must thank Tony Pulla of Re/Max Lakeshore Realty Inc. for his signature sponsorship.

Tony believes in our hospital and stands firm in his support year over year.”

Sydney Fairman and Trenholm Parker of the Sydney Fairman Group stepped up again as the exclusive beverage sponsor for the evening. Both Sydney and Trenholm believe in a good hospital for west Northumberland and do what they can to strengthen NHH.

Held on June 27th, close to 300 guests sampled food and drink from 11 local vendors, including a new Mocktail Station for those who preferred a non-alcohol choice. “This option was brought to our attention last year, and Jenna Campbell of George & Orange volunteered to make it happen and it was a popular choice with our guests” states Fluxgold.

A special shout-out to the Lions Club of Cobourg for providing use of their tent free of charge. “In addition to allowing us to use the tent, Lions members volunteer to help set up, clean up, and they are our beverage servers for the evening. Their motto is “We Serve” and do they ever,” shares Fluxgold.

Thank you to all sponsors including Elliott Insurance Services, Quantrill Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac, Nikolovsky Wealth Management – BMO Private Wealth, Acme Electric, Don Emond of Assante Wealth Management, LeBlanc Enterprises and Stadtke Plumbing and Heating.

Funds raised will help our hospital continue to care for our growing community by funding medical equipment and technology at NHH.
