Bruce County Bash

The Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is proud to announce its first annual Bruce County Bash in partnership with 97.9 The Bruce and Three Sheets Brewing, taking place on Saturday, August 19 at the Coliseum in Southampton.

This exciting fundraising event will feature two amazing bands, 54-40 & Tommy Youngsteen, who will be performing LIVE in concert.

The Bruce County Bash is a new addition to the hospital foundation’s Gran Fondo Lake Huron fundraising cycling event and is sure to be a hit with music lovers and cycling enthusiasts alike. The concert is designed to add to the excitement of the weekend and create an opportunity for more people across the region who don’t cycle to take part in the Gran Fondo Lake Huron festivities.

54-40 is Canada’s rock band that has been making music for over three decades with a huge following of dedicated fans. Tommy Youngsteen is a well-known classic rock tribute band that recreates the legendary music of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Neil Young (featuring members and alum from Arkells, Trews, Sloan, and Sam Roberts Band).

This promises to be a night of high energy, fantastic music, and plenty of fun with bar service provided by Three Sheets Brewing and multiple food trucks on site for the evening including Low and Slow Craft BBQ, Food on the Move, Southampton Rotary and Beavertails.

Tickets for the Bruce County Bash will be on sale at 10:00AM on Friday March 10, 2023 and can be purchased online at www.smhfoundation.ca or contact the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation office 519-797-3230 x 3230.

Proceeds from the event will go toward local mental health initiatives.

Why Ride?

You ride because local healthcare matters to you and to the people you care about. Gran Fondo Lake Huron is about community stepping up to strengthen care close to home, ensuring our hospitals have the tools and technology needed to support patients when it matters most. Every kilometre you ride and every dollar you raise helps move healthcare forward across the Brightshores Health System region.

Over the years, this event has helped fund meaningful advancements in care, including a Mental Health and Wellness Recovery Centre, state of the art mammography equipment, MRI technology, and a CT Scanner. These investments reflect what happens when a community comes together with a shared commitment to better care.

When you ride, you are not just taking part in an event. You are helping ensure that high quality care is available for families, neighbours, and visitors, today and for years to come.
