Tickets are now available for a new fundraiser for Ed's House – Handbags For Hospice, which will take place Jan. 23.
Organizers are looking forward to bringing the community together in support of the new Northumberland Hospice Care Centre with an exciting evening that features good food, designer handbags, luxury experiences and more.
“This night of fun, fashion and friends has become a signature event for many hospices throughout Ontario,” the announcement stated.
Events committee chair Nancy Oliver promises a variety of handbags and experiences to bid on, as well as a choice of raffles to participate in,
“There are only a limited number of tickets available for this evening, and we are anticipating that the demand will be high,” Oliver said in the press release.
“I hope you will be able to join us to support Ed's House, or consider purchasing a ticket or two for a gift for that special person for Christmas.”
Proceeds from this event will support the furnishing of one of the patient rooms at the new hospice centre, which is currently under construction on Ontario Street, north of Highway 401 in Hamilton Township.
Community Care Northumberland executive director Trish Baird announced a goal of $25,000 in order to fully furnish one of the rooms.
“We are anticipating that this annual event will become one of the signature events in our area to support the important work that Ed's House will be doing for our community,” Baird said.
The event will take place at the Best Western Plus Cobourg Inn and Convention Centre. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the evening begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $75, available at https://northumberlandwest.snapd.com/events/view/1290060.
