Lace up for Blades of Bravery

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Mom Victoria Wasson, dad Stephen Moloney, brother Wyatt and sister Harper – who recently donated $5,309.80 to the PRHC Foundation from an earlier fundraiser – are inviting the community to lace up their skates to support the smallest and bravest cancer warriors among us.

Wyatt was just eight months old when he was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma. Throughout every treatment and hospital stay, he received expert, compassionate care at PRHC. His family is passionate about giving back by supporting pediatric cancer care at the Health Centre. This month it’s through Blades of Bravery, a special family-friendly open skate.

  • When: September 20, 2025, 1-2pm
  • Where: Peterborough Memorial Centre
  • Admission: By donation

Come and enjoy hot chocolate, sweet treats, and the warmth of a community united for a meaningful cause. Please sport your yellow or gold to show your support for childhood cancer awareness.

Limited edition Lakers sunglasses in support of PRHC

As part of the Peterborough Century 21 Lakers’ partnership with the PRHC Foundation for the 2025 Major Series Lacrosse season, the Lakers are selling limited edition sunglasses with all proceeds in support of the Campaign for PRHC. 

The Campaign for PRHC publicly launched in 2024 with $52.9 million raised to date. The goal is to help PRHC invest in state-of-the-art technology, bring new lifesaving services to our region, fuel innovation, and attract the best and brightest healthcare professionals. The Lakers are enthusiastic campaign ambassadors. “The Lakers are all about community, and it doesn’t get more ‘community’ than supporting the doctors, nurses and staff at our regional hospital,” says Lakers board member Len Powers. “PRHC is where our families turn in moments of greatest need and the Lakers are excited to rally around the Campaign for PRHC and support our regional hospital.”

Players, staff and board members have been seen sporting their own shiny red shades this season and now fans can get their own pair for $10 from the Petes Store at the Peterborough Memorial Centre or the PRHC Foundation Gift Shop inside PRHC. Let’s go Lakers!

Hair by Fusion fundraiser supporting pediatric cancer care at PRHC in memory of Sofie Roberts

Sherri Wilfong, owner of Hair by Fusion, was inspired to host her “Blow-dry For a Cause” fundraiser in memory of Sofie Roberts, the daughter of her friend and former salon sales representative Brooke.

All proceeds from blow-dries and select sales at Hair by Fusion up until December 14th will be donated in support of pediatric cancer care at PRHC – inspired by the care Sofie received at the Health Centre.

Plus, those who make a $20 donation to the fundraiser – either online or in-store – will have their name entered to win one of four gift baskets filled with salon products (including $1,000 worth of products donated by Redken). 

The gift basket draw will take place at a special birthday party event on December 14th at 4pm, two days before what would have been Sofie’s tenth birthday.  

Thank you to the team at Hair by Fusion, and the Roberts family, for choosing to honour Sofie in this way. Donations raised will directly support an expanded, purpose-built pediatric cancer care space designed for the expert delivery of care close to home for vulnerable, young patients.
