Summer is the time to BBQ and also to support the Hospital Auxiliary

Spring has sprung and summer is just around the corner.  Just in time for the July 1st Canada Day long weekend, Saugeen Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is holding a raffle to start the weekend off with a bang.

After a long winter, everyone likes to get out of doors and what better way than to have a BBQ with friends, especially with a new barbecue.

  Broil King BBQ, gift certificate and gift basket

The raffle is featuring, a new Broil King BBQ, donated by Martin’s Home Hardware in Southampton, a $100 gift certificate AND a basket of delectable goodies from Southampton Meat Market.

For a chance to win this incredible prize AND support the local Hospital Auxiliary at the same time, all it takes is a ticket … or two … or three.  Tickets are only $5.00 each or three for $10 and can be purchased at the Gift Shop inside the Saugeen Memorial Hospital.

Tickets are now on sale and the draw will be made on June 27th at 1:00 p.m.

About the Hospital Auxiliary: Southampton Hospital Auxiliary has been a going concern since 1948 and, today, it is made up of more than 100 volunteers who volunteer at the hospital and hold a wide variety of fundraising events throughout the year.  From greeting patients at the hospital and helping them navigate the hospital to raising funds for hospital equipment, the Auxiliary is a major partner when it comes to local health care.

Among the events to raise funds are the tag days on the July long weekend to a Christmas bazaar in November.  In addition, the Auxiliary volunteers operate the Hospital Gift Shop that is open to the public.

One event that is always popular in Southampton is Opening Day at “Armen’s Cafe” on High Street, where all coffee sales are donated to the Auxiliary.
