Bethell fundraising hikes planned for Inglewood and Bolton
May 1, 2013 · 0 Comments
For the first time, Bethell Hospice will be holding a fundraising hike in Bolton, as well as another in Inglewood.
This event was a real success in Inglewood last year, raising more than $63,000 in support of residence and community outreach and bereavement support programs run out of the Bethell House facility in Inglewood.
The two hikes will be during National Hospice and Palliative Care Week.
The Inglewood event will be May 5, starting at Inglewood Community Centre, 15825 McLaughlin Rd. The one in Bolton will May 11, be starting at Dick’s Dam Park, 250 Glasgow Rd.
Registration for both events begins at 9 a.m., followed by a balloon release ceremony and hike at 10, and a barbecue lunch at 11. Registration is $25, with the registration fee waived with donations of $200 or more.
To celebrate the first-ever hike in Bolton, Volunteer Board Chairperson Kasia Seydegart has pledged to personally match dollar-for-dollar every donation to the hike, up to $5,000.
To register for the hike, or to donate to a hiker, go to www.bethellhospice.org
The Hike for Bethell Hospice is sponsored by BDO Chartered Accountants and Advisors, Orangeville and Caledon East offices.
