Northumberland hospital foundation presents gala fundraiser with old Hollywood theme
By West Northumberland Independent staff
Residents can help improve local breast healthcare at Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) by “Singin’ in the Rain.”
Ticket sales kicked off on Wednesday, Sept. 16 for the NHH Foundation’s 2026 “Singin’ in the Rain: Hollywood Style gala.”
Money raised from the fundraiser, which is on Saturday, Nov. 7, will support four key investments at the hospital to help modernize breast healthcare for local patients, the foundation has announced.
Earlier this year, organizers announced the gala will take place at the LiUNA Local 183 Lifelong Learning Centre in Cobourg, which is located at 560 Dodge St. The event aims to build on the success of the “elevated cocktail” format introduced in 2025.
“Our dedicated cabinet of volunteers are working to plan an elegant evening for guests, embracing the glamour and excitement of old Hollywood,” said Rhonda Cunningham, NHH foundation CEO, in a recent release. “While the theme may be timeless, behind it is a very modern vision – bringing the latest equipment and innovations in breast healthcare to our community.”
The foundation is looking to modernize NHH’s breast health program with equipment including a new 3D mammography unit, an ultrasound machine, a bone mineral density scanner, and wire-free breast tissue localization technology.
“Together, with returning and new gala guests, we will celebrate the elegance of the past while investing in advanced technology for the future,” said Cunningham. “These investments will support earlier diagnosis, improved patient comfort, and better outcomes for patients and families facing breast cancer in our community.”
Tickets are $250 per person and are available at www.NHHGala.ca.
