At Joseph Brant Hospital, the power of community fundraising is more than the dollars raised; it’s about the people of Burlington, Hamilton and the wider community coming together to ensure their hospital has the vital resources it needs to care for them and their loved ones. Ashley Davidson is the President and CEO of Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation. She says, “Whether it’s expanding programs to meet growing healthcare needs or purchasing the latest cutting-edge equipment our community fundraising events play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare in Burlington.”
These events raise essential funds that directly support Joseph Brant Hospital’s doctors, nurses, and healthcare staff, ensuring they have the tools, technology, and resources to provide top-notch care and ease the burden on these hard-working medical teams.

Fundraising is crucial
Donor support is crucial to Joseph Brant Hospital because government funding only goes so far. Ashley Davidson says, “Government funding does not fully cover equipment and technology needs, which play key roles in diagnosis and treatment. Community support allows us to offer innovative programs, expand and redevelop care spaces, and purchase new equipment. This ensures that we can provide the highest quality care to our patients every day.”
Community fundraising events like the HorsePower 4 Hospital and Diwali Community Garba play a crucial role in rallying neighbours and local businesses and raising funds to enhance medical services. Davidson adds, “We are extremely fortunate to have such an enthusiastic and generous community that supports us through a number of community-run events.” Other signature fundraising events include,
- Women in Leadership Panel Discussion in March
- J Soiree in May
- JBH Open Golf Tournament in June
Community fundraising events like the HorsePower 4 Hospital and Diwali Community Garba, bring the community together in a fun and meaningful way. Every dollar raised helps Joseph Brant Hospital do more, so that when you or someone you love needs medical care, the very best options are available close to home. Every donation, ticket purchase, and sponsorship help shape a healthier community, ensuring that Joseph Brant Hospital continues delivering top-tier care to people in the community when they need it most.
Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation is incredibly grateful to all their community event partners and supporters who are helping to make a difference.
