What is a DIY event?

It’s any event – big or small – in support of the Hospital that is organized by someone outside the Hospital or the Hospital Foundation.

Who can hold a DIY event?

Anyone or any group – schools, clubs, service organizations, companies, individuals – to name a few.

Once your DIY event is approved, we can provide you with the following tools:

  • Meet with you to discuss your event and provide suggestions.
  • Approve the use of our logo on your promotional materials.
  • Provide a letter of support for your event to send to prospective sponsors.
  • Arrange for a representative to speak at your event, if applicable.
  • Promote the event within the Hospital, and in our newsletters, if timing is appropriate.
  • Acknowledge your support in our newsletter.
  • Write thank you letters.
  • Issue charitable tax receipts, if applicable.
If you are considering hosting an event to support GGH, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Sarah Zinger, Annual Giving, Marketing & Communications Coordinator.
