HDGH postpones signature events over COVID-19

The Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare Foundation is postponing four significant events because of uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and social distancing rules.

As a result, the Heart Breaker Challenge, the Bob Probert Ride, the Big Night Gala, and the Regional Children's Centre Inaugural Beach Soccer Event will not go ahead this year.

Instead, the Heart Breaker Challenge has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 29, 2021, and the Bob Probert Ride will go ahead on Sunday, June 27, 2021.

The Big Night Gala will now go ahead on Friday, November 12, 2021, and the beach soccer event for the Regional Children's Centre will be held in July 2021.

If you want to support the foundation in the meantime, donations can still be made online. The foundation has also set up a new fund to directly help Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare respond to needs during the pandemic.
