Amount raised in 2010: $38,000
Let's all meet for One Big Coffee Morning and make a difference.
On June 15, 2010, we invite you to take part in this easy, fun, sociable way to raise funds for the purchase of new medical equipment for NORTHUMBERLAND HILLS HOSPITAL.
A great excuse to meet up with friends, spend a few minutes with colleagues, family members and neighbours, in a place of your choosing, and invite them to make a donation to the hospital.
This year's Northumberland's Biggest Coffee Morning will be held in memory of long time Port Hope Fire Chief Jim Boughen and local artist Alf Blything. Both Jim and Alf were dedicated supporters and volunteers of their community.
Sadly, both men passed away in 2009. Both in their early 70's.
Organizers of Northumberland's Biggest Coffee Morning have spoken to Jim and Alf's widows and they are very supportive and pleased that this year's coffee morning event will be in their honour.
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
Do one of the following:
- Organize a coffee morning in your home. All you need is the coffee perking, some cake or cookies and voilà you are ready for your guests when they arrive.
- Suggest a group of you meet at one of the local participating coffee shops.
- Consider holding a party at your church, club or community centre and open it to the public.
- Organize a company coffee break.
- If you operate a coffee shop, restaurant or retail store, contact us to help plan a special event at your store.
Whether your event is small and intimate or on a larger scale, it doesn't matter, because every donation counts.
Help make this a special, rewarding day for everyone.
