Community-Led Events

Events are a rewarding and fun way to give back to our Hospital.

Community-led events are fundraising events that are put on by individuals or organizations in support of Guelph General Hospital.

From BBQs and lemonade stands to golf tournaments and galas, hosting an event in support of The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital, helps us to fund the highest priority essential patient care equipment.

Interested in organizing your own event? Need some ideas to get your creative juices flowing? Check out our current and past community-led events below and the impact they had at Guelph General Hospital. Or consider supporting a community event that is already organized. Are you a local business that would like to support? Take a look at our Local Businesses Care for Guelph General Hospital page.
