Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is pleased to have The Saugeen Shores Hub join the Gran Fondo Lake Huron this year as an In-Kind Gold Sponsor

This is the second Annual Gran Fondo Lake Huron fundraising event for the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation but a first for us having the Saugeen Shores Hub as an in-kind sponsor and we couldn’t be happier, stated Foundation Executive Director Tracy Murray.

Saugeen Shores Hub is an independent digital news source devoted to Saugeen Shores. Collectively the team has over 50 years’ experience in print and digital news and has been bringing community events and initiatives to an ever-growing audience of Saugeen Shores residents, visitors, organizations and businesses since its inception.

“It has been a pleasure to cover Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation initiatives over the years and their successful inaugural Gran Fondo fundraiser was no exception,” said Saugeen Shores Hub owner Matthew Joyce. “We are pleased to offer our support to this year’s event and wish the Foundation continued success in their efforts, keeping health care close to home.”

Why Ride?

This year, funds raised through Gran Fondo Lake Huron will strengthen healthcare in our region by enhancing regional stroke care and supporting essential equipment upgrades at Brightshores Southampton Hospital. Every dollar raised helps ensure our healthcare teams have the tools they need to provide high-quality, lifesaving care to our community and visitors.

When a stroke occurs, every second counts. Access to advanced imaging technology and rapid intervention tools can mean the difference between recovery and lifelong disability. Saugeen Shores residents rely on our designated stroke center in Owen Sound for urgent stroke care. Funds raised will help equip the center with essential upgrades to improve diagnosis and treatment, ensuring faster, more effective care for patients throughout our region.

Funds raised will also help upgrade vital equipment at Brightshores Southampton Hospital, ensuring our healthcare teams can provide exceptional care close to home. This year’s funding will replace essential tools like crash carts, keeping staff prepared for urgent situations. Investing in modern equipment enhances patient care, improves efficiency, and supports our hospital in meeting the community’s growing healthcare needs.

Your participation in Gran Fondo Lake Huron directly strengthens local healthcare. Whether you ride, volunteer, or donate, you are helping provide the vital resources that keep our hospital at its best, ensuring lifesaving care for our community today and for generations to come.
