Northumberland Paramedics raised over $1200 for two local non-profits to help support their programing.

The 2026 Paramedic Therapy Dog Calendar saw more than 120 calendars sold and other dress-down day initiatives helped boost the funds.

Cornerstone Family Violence Prevention Centre and the Northumberland Humane Society split the funds.  “We are grateful to the Northumberland Paramedics and to Ivy for choosing to support Cornerstone through this meaningful fundraiser,” said Cornerstone Executive Director Nancy Johnston. “Their generosity and commitment to our community truly makes a difference. We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the fundraiser a success or purchased a calendar, your support has a lasting impact for women and children in Northumberland County. We deeply value our ongoing partnership with the paramedics and Ivy, and are thankful for all that they do each day to support our community.”

“We are incredibly grateful to be selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Paramedic Therapy Dog Calendar fundraiser,” explained Krystyne Gillespie, community outreach specialist with the Northumberland Humane Society. “The support raised through this campaign will help provide essential care, comfort, and second chances for animals in our community. It’s heartwarming to see Ivy bringing people together and making a real difference for both animals and families across Northumberland County.”
