Virtual Charity Road Race raises $27,500

To ensure the safety of our supporters, sponsors, volunteers and staff, The Health Foundation has cancelled the annual Gala planned for October, after previously cancelling three major summer events: The Charity Golf Classic in June, Rhythm 'n Ribs in July and the Road Race and Community Walk in August.

“It is clear that Covid-19 is still with us and will be for some time, and that means people should continue to social distance and be smart in their actions. We are The Health Foundation, and it would be inappropriate for us to send out mixed messages by holding an event so we want to be clear in our message to people that they need to continue to social distance,” Gala committee chair Diane Rusnak stated in announcing the cancellation.

"This would have been our 25th anniversary Gala and we were very much looking forward to it. Hopefully a year from now we will be organizing Gala again."

The events have been successful fundraising events for the Foundation, but as importantly, have allowed us to have fun with friends and family.

If you have previously attended these events, or sponsored participants, we would greatly appreciate it if you would consideration making a donation instead.
