Events
Each year, Hospice Peterborough hosts meaningful and memorable fundraising events that help ensure everyone in our community living with or affected by life-threatening illness and grief has access to support. Whether you’re walking in memory of a loved one at Hike for Hospice or indulging in local food and drink at our Summer Sips series, you can be sure participation in our events is making an impact.
We also welcome third-party fundraising events that promote the work of Hospice and increase awareness of the work we do. We encourage you to get creative and reach out to our fundraising team (see sidebar) for support in promoting your event. For more information on our upcoming events, read on!
