The seventh annual edition of La Baie Run, which was held at L’Orignal Municipal Park on Saturday, July 19, was once again a huge success! With a record-breaking turnout of over 625 participants, the event raised an impressive $30,000 in support of the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation.
Since its inception, La Baie Run has raised a total of $177,000 to help bring new medical equipment and specialty services to HGH – making a lasting difference for patients in our region.
This year’s edition was proudly presented by Gold sponsors: Desjardins, Harden, and Champlain Township.
The Teams Challenge, a competition which encourages a group of individuals or colleagues to fundraise together, was won by the Desjardins Groupe Yelle Moore team who raised more than $3,000!
“We are incredibly fortunate to live in a community where individuals and businesses rally around such an inspiring event for our hospital,” said Erin Tabakman, Executive Director of the HGH Foundation. “Thank you to the organizing committee and each and every one of you who participated in La Baie Run. You are truly making a difference for patients at HGH!”
