After a relatively calm and sunny winter, the snow decided to come all at once on Saturday, January 19th- the same night of the 24th annual Gala for the Erie Shores Health Foundation.
“We weren’t sure if the weather would impact our attendance tonight,” said Executive Director, Christine Colautti, “But it’s amazing to see so many of our supporters brave the weather and join us!”
The annual gala sells out every year, and this year was no different. The Portuguese Club was greeted with a near 500-person crowd and was transformed into a spectacular Vegas Casino to fit the "Just Roll With It" theme. Guests were invited to spin a prize roulette wheel and one lucky raffle winner won a trip for 2 to Vegas and $2,500 cash.
After expenses the Erie Shores Health Foundation happily announces a total of $115,000 going towards improved facilities and equipment at Erie Shores HealthCare in Leamington. In addition to the hundreds who attended, the event was also generously supported by 40 event sponsors- including ThermoEnergy & Ideal Power as the $10,000 “High Roller Sponsors”.

Congratulations to Hogs For Hospice on another amazing fundraising announcement this year!
Without the help of funds raised from events such as this, families would have to pay for services at the cost of $110 per day or $1,100 a week at Erie Shores Hospice. Because of community donations, NO family has had to pay a dime since ES Hospice opened in 2016.
Thank you to the organizers, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters. An event of this magnitude takes a whole community effort, as I'm sure every family who who has already had use- or will need to use in the future- is indescribably thankful.

On Sunday, June 10th two Hospice LifeWalk events took place in Windsor and Leamington in support of the two Hospice Campuses in Windsor-Essex County. A total of over 400 walkers braved a cold and wet morning and a grand total of over $65,000 was raised!
In Windsor, The Hospice of Windsor and Essex Country celebrated their 22nd Annual Hospice LifeWalk at the Ciociaro Club for The Hospice Wellness Centre, which provides over 50 programs at no cost to patients and their families. Just a short travel south at Seacliff Park in Leamington, the Erie Shores Health Foundation hosted the 2nd Annual Erie Shores Hospice LifeWalk, in support of operational costs for the Erie Shores Hospice campus located in Leamington.
The event featured the Kingsville-Essex Associated Band, a Dove Release Ceremony, and a food truck lunch for participants. The proceeds raised from the events will go directly to support operational costs at the Windsor and Erie Shores Hospice Campuses, to cover the shortfall for expenses not covered through government funding. It is through continuous community support that all Hospice programs or services are offered at no cost to Windsor-Essex families.
