Our Fundraising Events

The Annual Foundation Gala is our signature fundraising event, made possible by the extraordinary generosity of individuals and businesses across the community.  The event includes a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, live music, silent and live auctions, games and much more.

Since its inception 25 years ago, thousands of guests have waived their paddles to raise millions of dollars towards the purchase of essential medical equipment for Belleville General Hospital. Last year’s Moulin Rouge Gala held on Saturday Sept. 16th 2023, welcomed guests to The Grand in Belleville for a night filled with glamour, entertainment and unwavering philanthropy. The successful event raised over $600,000, to benefit advanced diagnostics and cancer care at Quinte Health, Belleville General Hospital.

This year’s 25th Anniversary Venetian Masquerade Gala event, will be held on September 21, 2024. It promises to be an extraordinary evening as we celebrate a quarter century of hosting our Annual Gala fundraiser!  This milestone evening, held at The Grand Belleville, promises a night of elegance, sophistication and theatrical presentation.

Golfers hit the links at Black Bear Ridge on June 20th, for our sixth Annual Fractures for Fairways Golf Tournament. The goal of the tournament is to raise funds, through sponsorships and player registrations, which will help facilitate the renovation of Belleville General Hospital’s Fracture Clinic. As the hospital’s busiest clinic, serving over 12,000 patients per year, this forms one of Quinte Health’s priority capital projects in the short term. The BGH Foundation has committed to a $375,000 pledge for the new build, hoping to leverage support from the Provincial government to assist with the expansion.

Expanding the facility will see accommodation for six surgeons and three ortho techs, allowing for efficient traffic flow thanks to dedicated entry points between examining rooms.

Thanks to our 2024 Fairways for Fractures participants, sponsors and volunteers we raised a record $124,350, on the day. We can’t thank the community enough for their continued support of this important event.

The Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk is a little event with a big heart.  Created in 2015 by three sisters in memory of their mother, the 53km walk represents the number of years Gaetane blessed the earth with her love laughter and kindness.  The event was born from a passion to improve Cancer Care at the Belleville General Hospital, with proceeds going into our oncology drug fund.  With 1 in 3 Canadians now diagnosed with cancer within their lifetime, this event is an invaluable feature in our calendar, helping to replenish the funds available for life saving drugs for our sickest of patients.

Please join my sisters and I on Saturday, September 23rd and Sunday, September 24th, 2023 for The Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk. A 53 KM walk through the streets of Belleville over the course of two days while raising funds to improve cancer care at Belleville General Hospital.

The Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk was created in memory of our mother, Gaetane Harvey. A 53 KM walk, 1 KM for each year this earth was blessed with her love, laughter and kindness. My sisters and I lost our mother on January 30th, 2006 after a brief but hard fought battle against breast cancer. Her passing has fueled my passion to fundraise and so with the support of my sisters and family the Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk was created.  But this walk isn’t just about her.  It is has grown into much more than that, it has grown with each walker that has registered and shared their own stories. We ask others to join our walk; in memory of a loved one who has passed, in support of a loved one who is going through cancer treatment or in celebration of a loved one who has survived this terrible disease.

The Gaetane Harvey Memorial Walk is a little event with a BIG heart! It is a community of people coming together, strangers becoming friends, feet on pavement, kilometers logged, funds being raised and making a difference no matter how big or small. We celebrate the lives of so many people that have been touched by cancer. I hope this walk empowers others to turn their grief, sadness or helplessness into something beautiful and meaningful.

Please join Gee’s Girls to help improve cancer care right here in our own community.
