The fifth annual edition of La Baie Run, which was held at L’Orignal Municipal Park on Saturday, July 29, was once again a huge success, raising $19,260 for the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation’s campaign, There’s No Place Like Home.

La Baie Run has now raised a total of $130,000 to help bring new specialty services to HGH!
This year’s edition was presented by Gold sponsors: Green Beaver, Harden, Tulmar, and Ivaco Rolling Mills. Thank you to all of the sponsors for their support!
The Teams Challenge, a competition which encourages a group of individuals to fundraise together, was won by the team at École Saint-Jean-Baptiste in L’Orignal.
“This wouldn’t be possible without the help of our sponsors and 80 volunteers. A big thanks to them! We are looking forward to seeing you all again end-July 2024!” La Baie Run organizer Patrick Lalonde said.
“La Baie Run is the ultimate example of a community behind its hospital. We are filled with gratitude for the organizing committee, the generous sponsors and all participants, who have all come together yet again to make a difference for patients at HGH. Thank you for this wonderful gift!” remarked HGH Foundation Executive Director Erin Tabakman.
