Thinking of Running in Pink?
Dr. Gehrels and Paula Attwell Co-Chairs of our Support the Girls Campaign are pulling ladies together to run in a pink T-shirt. This T-shirt order is also going in on Friday May 7 so if you would like to run in pink with our campaign Co-Chairs then please let us know. The Biosphere Walk, Run, Roll will purchase a Bi-PAPP for ICU/Emergency and Stepcounters for our Cardiac Rehab patients.

Perfect Picnic - July 22 (Sold out last year. Don't be disappointed)
Gala tickets are now on sale through our website or in the Foundation office. This mid-summer's evening event is hosted on the historic grounds of Camp Tapawingo, accessible by boat and car. Overlooking the sparkling waters of Georgian Bay, you will enjoy a feast of local foods,  a Gift of Songs of the First Nations Women - the Min WeWe Drummers, Boogie-Woogie Piano Player Tyler Yarema, an Icing on the Cake Auction, a Spectacular Things Auction and more!

T-Shirt Deadline Looming
This Friday the Foundation must place our T-Shirt order. The only way to guarantee that folks in our Biosphere Run receive the correct size is to register by Friday, May 7. After May 7 all registrants will receive T-shirts from our guesstimate order. We will do our best to ensure T-shirts fit but we can't guarantee size... it will be first come first receive from the guesstimate size order.

Mother's Day Magic

The response to our Bra Project has been magical.  Throughout the Georgian Bay area women are crafting fabulous Art-bras to decorate our walls and campaign materials.  Our First Nation sisters are crafting Art-bras in traditional native art forms.  With our Mother’s Day cards in the mail donations have begun filtering in.  

There are two fantastic actions you can take for Mother’s Day to support our Digital Mammography Project.  Donate directly through our Support the Girls Campaign or buy a ticket for the Mother’s Day basket at Mark’s Work Wearhouse in Parry Sound.  The basket will be on display Thursday through Sunday with the draw Sunday for the lucky Mother’s Day winner.   Thursday May 6th is Ladies Night at Mark’s Work Wearhouse kicking off ticket sales for the basket.  All proceeds go towards Digital Mammography at the West Parry Sound Health Centre.  So hurry into Mark's to get your raffle tickets!
