Help us raise money

For participating in Around the Bay Road Race 2023

Our story…

Help our team raise $5,000+ and give babies and families the best start possible!

The adage remains true today. For more than 130 years, St. Joe’s has been helping families to deliver their tiny bundles of joy that can immediately take up every space in our hearts. In fact, we help to bring 3,600 newborns into the world every year – more than half of all the babies born in Hamilton. Our commitment to the importance of skin-to-skin contact and breast-feeding support has earned St. Joe’s a special accreditation by the World Health Organization – we’re one of only four Hospitals in Ontario to be awarded Baby-Friendly Status.

With your help, we can give babies the best start possible in a space that has been renovated and refreshed with this goal in mind. Please donate to our team participating in the Around the Bay Road Race as we come together to renovate our suite of Birthing Rooms, and expand our Special Care Nursery.

Description

Welcome to our team fundraising page!

We are very excited to be participating in the 2023 Around the Bay Road Race (ATB) in support of St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation. This cause is very important to us because St. Joe’s is in many ways the heart of Hamilton – nearly everyone in our community has been touched by the incredible patient care they provide.

Funds raised through this year’s Bay Race will support the following vital projects at St. Joe’s:

  • Bringing the latest in breast cancer diagnostic imaging equipment to our Hospital. This includes items like a Digital Breast Tomosynthesis machine that provides 3-D mammograms and a breast biopsy coil to support MRI screening for patients at a higher-risk of aggressive cancers.

  • Giving Babies and Families the Best Start Possible. We’re raising funds to help renew our 11 birthing rooms and expand our Special Care Nursery. With your help, we’ll be able to offer babies and families the very best start possible in units built just for them! New features will include enhanced infection control materials, dimmable lighting, and décor elements that are inspired by nature. The new birthing rooms will help parents to deliver their baby in the way that feels most comfortable for them. While the expanded special care nursery will help us to care for more babies who need a little extra love and medical attention. 

We hope that you’ll consider supporting our team as we take on the Around the Bay Road Race and raise funds for St. Joe’s. We are encouraged by the support we've already received, but still need your help to reach our fundraising goal. Every dollar we raise together will support hope, healing and discovery at St. Joe’s. 

Thanks for your support!
