Sponsorships to the Long Table Dinner are an essential part of our success.
This year we welcome back Janet and Mike Henry as our EVENT Sponsor and celebrate with you their $50,000 sponsorship gift. This is your invitation to join them.
Janet and Mike are giving generously now to the Foundation, having become well aware of the needs at AMGH. They wish to set an example to the community with this leadership gift, and the desire to have others join them. Being able to see their contribution at work in their lifetime is as important as a legacy gift to them. The know how essential the hospital is to the vibrancy of our community.
Would you like to enjoy the benefits of being a sponsor? Levels begin at $1500 and each level provides complimentary tickets ( Value $250 pp) and include an elegant champagne reception, fabulous appetizers, a fully catered plated dinner. Please contact Kimberley Payne at 519-524-8508 or kimberley.payne@amgh.ca to receive your Sponsorship Package. Dress code is all white, so plan your wardrobe essentials now.

This is a campaign intended to show community appreciation and support for all our Health Care Workers. The hearts are Neon Blue and we have one in our office if you want to come and see it. You will begin to see them popping up all over town and we are thrilled with the response already. You can participate as well if you like and help us ‘blanket the community with love’. It is going to be beautiful. You can just scan the QR code below or etransfer to amgh.foundation@amgh.ca or call us at 519-524-8508 and we will take your order and answer any questions you have. |

CHRISTMAS
2021
Square Brew Christmas Night Markets
November 18, Dec. 2 and Dec. 16 from 5-9pm
Looking for that really unique Christmas gift? We will be selling products made from the wood reclaimed from the Siddall Fish Shack at the Square Brew Christmas Night Markets on November 18, Dec. 2 and Dec. 16 from 5-9pm.
We will have our really awesome Bird Houses Photo Frames, Pride Flags and a few other items on sale. We reclaimed the wood from the shack when it was destroyed by a train wreck in spring 2021. We wanted to honour the hospital’s relationship to the lake and the history of our fishermen. The Siddall Fish Shack was the last remaining shack and was a designated historical building. We connected with some local artists and had birdhouses, picture frames and signs made from the wood.
You can own a little piece of the history of Goderich and support your local hospital at the same time. And give a really thoughtful and meaningful gift to someone! Drop in and see us.
