Boaters Give Back: Hindson Marina Raises $2,500 for GBGH Foundation

The spirit of giving was alive and well at Hindson Marina’s annual End-of-Season Boater Party on September 13th, where more than 200 boaters gathered for an evening of community, connection, and celebration.

With entertainment from Kitty & The Boyz, raffle prizes, and plenty of waterfront fun, the event raised an impressive $2,500 in support of the Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Foundation.

“We’re so proud to support the GBGH Foundation and the important role our local hospital plays in the community,” shared the team at Hindson Marina. “This hospital touches so many lives, including those of our staff, our boaters, and our families. It just makes sense to give back.”

Proceeds from the event will support the Foundation’s We See You Campaign, helping address the hospital’s most urgent needs, such as vital medical equipment and technology that enhances patient care across departments.

“We’re incredibly grateful to the Hindson Marina team and their boating community for their ongoing generosity,” says Robyn Kaczanowski, community giving officer, GBGH Foundation. “Their support helps ensure that patients across North Simcoe continue to receive excellent, compassionate care close to home.”

A Milestone Birthday, a Meaningful Memory: Giving Back to GBGH Foundation for Susan’s 60th

For her 60th birthday, Susan Saccucci chose to celebrate in a way that truly made an impact. Instead of gifts, she invited friends and family to her birthday party with a special request: make a donation to the GBGH Foundation’s We See You Campaign.

The heartfelt event raised a total of $7,089, including a remarkable $5,000 gift from Susan’s friends Randy and Sandra Hall, given in honour of the excellent care Randy’s parents received at GBGH in their final days.

“As I think about the future, I’ve realized how important it is to have good health care where you live. Discovering the GBGH Foundation was a fortunate fluke, and it resonated with me so deeply that I feel compelled to support however I can, because ensuring we have what we need nearby matters so much,” shared Susan during the celebration.

The birthday fundraiser is a shining example of how one person’s generosity can make a real difference in the community. Susan’s commitment and her friends’ support will help ensure that GBGH continues to provide compassionate, high-quality care to patients close to home.
