Fundraising
Our in-hospital fundraisers like Muskoka Mocha coffee bar, HELPP lottery and the Gift Shop are very successful. With the support of both our permanent and seasonal residents, proceeds from our fundraising activities have enabled us to assist our community hospital in a variety of ways.
Donations
We are always grateful to the members of our community who kindly donate items for our raffles, events, Gift Shop, and Craft Group. Friends of the Auxiliary - both individuals and businesses - are greatly appreciated for the ongoing support they give to our various fundraising ventures. A special thank you goes to the Bracebridge Hospital Bridge Club who donates thousands of dollars annually to the Auxiliary.
