On November 10, 2024, a group of 55 women came together at Rawley Resort in Port Severn for an Afternoon Tea to raise funds for Mammography equipment at Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH). The event raised $3,500 for the hospital through silent auction, raffle and tea leaf readings from Just Believe Boutique & Team Room.
Funds raised from the event will help bring mammography services to GBGH, easing the burden of travel for patients in our community, improving wait times and ensuring that excellent care can be provided close to home.
A special thank you to Olimpia Marchetti of Port Severn who donated her time to play the piano throughout the event, the Baxter Ward Lions club for executing and donating the proceeds of the 50/50 raffle, and to all of the local artist’s who generously donated to the silent auction: Paul Breslin, Karen Amos, Heather Kertzer, and Karen Bernardo.
