Wintergreen decorative pots by D McCulloch Events are back

Add a little festive warmth to your home this winter while supporting your regional hospital.

This holiday season, D McCulloch Events is offering beautiful, handcrafted wintergreen decorative pots, with $5 from every pot sold donated to the PRHC Foundation in support of exceptional patient care at Peterborough Regional Health Centre.

Each arrangement is thoughtfully created in a 10-inch black pot, making it perfect to display on its own or tuck into a decorative pot of your choice to complement your home décor.

Choose from a variety of colours and styles, including red, white, gold, silver or neutral, with either a modern or rustic look. Each pot features at least three varieties of greenery, including beautiful magnolia tips and other seasonal greens, finished with coordinating decorative picks to create a festive and unique arrangement.

Delivery within the city is free with purchase, with a delivery fee applying to locations outside the city.

Ready to bring home some seasonal greenery and give back at the same time? Please place your order by emailing Diana.

Thank you, D McCulloch Events and everyone who supports this wonderful fundraiser. Together, we can make the season a little brighter for our homes and for patients and families from across our region.

Peter DeGroot is taking his fundraising further for cancer care at PRHC

After combining endurance training with giving back to his community last year and raising $800 for PRHC Foundation, Peter DeGroot is back with an even bigger challenge.

This season, Peter is taking on an ambitious lineup of races ranging from family-friendly 5Ks to a 50K trail race and a 70.3 Ironman, all in support of cancer care at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. His goal is to raise $5,000 to help ensure patients in our region have access to advanced, compassionate cancer care close to home.

For Peter, every early morning workout, training session and race is about more than crossing a finish line, it’s about making a difference for local patients and their loved ones. Along the way, he’ll be sharing training updates, race results and community fundraising initiatives, including per-kilometre challenges, bottle drives and other creative ways to support the cause. Follow his journey and support his fundraising efforts through his personal fundraising page here.

Thank you, Peter, for your continued commitment to supporting patient care at PRHC!
