Community Event EVENT
WHAT IS A “COMMUNITY” EVENT?
An event organized by a volunteer, community group, or company is not an official Saint John Regional
Hospital Foundation activity and is considered a “community” event. Acting independently, but with the
Foundation’s support, community events are essential in helping improve health care for New Brunswickers.
THE SAINT JOHN REGIONAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION WILL BE PLEASED TO:
• Provide a letter of endorsement to authenticate the event
• Provide information and templates to help create Sponsorship Proposals, Silent Auction Tools, and
obtain appropriate licenses (i.e. gaming, liquor).
• Approve the use of our name and logo as appropriate
• Promote the event on our website and social media sites
• Provide a representative, when possible, to attend and speak at your event
• Will discuss and, if appropriate, issue Charitable Tax Receipts per Canada Revenue Agency’s receipting
guidelines
THE SAINT JOHN REGIONAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION IS UNABLE TO:
• Execute the event on your behalf
• Offer funding or reimbursement
• Provide access to email/mailing lists
• Solicit sponsorship
• Provide prizes
• Provide access to Hospital or Community VIP’s

THE CARDIAC WALK OF
LIFE Murray Gilchrist, Fundraiser
When I began fundraising for the
hospital, I came up with a very
small amount, but I loved doing it.
I’ve found people to be incredibly
generous and they tell me they
look forward to seeing me every
year. I keep thinking when I ring
the doorbell they’ll say “oh not this
guy again”, but that’s never been
the case!
