Join us on Sunday, August 18, 2024. Now in its third year, A Run for Chris is hosted in memory of Chris Owens, who touched the lives and hearts of so many in his community. To continue the memorial run’s proud tradition of raising funds for programs and services helping those living with mental health and/or substance use concerns, net proceeds of this year’s event will support St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton’s Youth Wellness Centre located in the downtown core.

Sunday Morning Fever

This sold-out Sunday Brunch, happening September 29, 2024,  hosted by Saverina Scozzari will feature music from Z103’s DJ Danny D and Tony Monaco, a silent auction, and more to help raise funds for mental health supports for kidney transplant recipients. Saverina received her own life-saving kidney transplant at St. Joe’s in January 2023 and is planning this event to give back to the Hospital that has cared for her during her journey with kidney disease.
